    摘要: An integrated circuit regulator including a temperature stable constant voltage reference wherein the negative temperature coefficient of the base-to-emitter voltage a first transistor in conjunction with the positive temperature coefficient of the base-to-emitter voltage differential between two additional transistors operating at different current densities is used to achieve a zero temperature coefficient reference potential. The constant voltage reference is combined with a voltage follower and provides a source of constant current which is passed through an external variable resistance to develop a selectable and predictable adjustment voltage for driving the voltage follower so as to cause an unregulated input voltage applied thereto to be regulated at an output terminal.
