A circuit for generating a band gap reference voltage (VREF) includes circuitry (I3×7) for supplying a first current to a first conductor (NODE1) and a second current to a second conductor (NODE2). The first conductor is successively coupled to a plurality of diodes (Q0×16), respectively, in response to a digital signal (CTL-VBE) to cause the first current to successively flow into selected diodes. The second conductor is coupled to collectors of the diodes which are not presently coupled to the first conductor. The diodes are successively coupled to the first conductor so that the first current causes the diodes, respectively, to produce relatively large VBE voltages on the first conductor and the second current causes sets of the diodes not coupled to the first conductor to produce relatively small VBE voltages on the second conductor. The relatively large and small VBE voltages provide differential band gap charges (QCA-QCB) which are averaged to provide a stable band gap reference voltage (VREF).
