Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes: a resistance R whose resistance value varies in response to a substrate temperature variation; a resistance corrector that is coupled in series with the resistance R and switches its resistance value by a preset resistance step width to suppress a resistance value variation of the resistance R; a first voltage generator for generating a first voltage that varies in response to the substrate temperature; a second voltage generator for generating second voltages Vf1 to Vfn−1 for specifying the first voltage at a point when a switching operation of the resistance value of the resistance corrector is performed; and a resistance switch unit for switching the resistance value of the resistance corrector by comparing the first voltage and the second voltages Vf1 to Vfn−1.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes: a voltage generation unit that generates a first voltage having a first temperature characteristic; a constant voltage generation unit that generates a constant voltage; and an adjustment unit that generates a second voltage having a second temperature characteristic and a third voltage having a third temperature characteristic using the first voltage and the constant voltage. The constant voltage generation unit generates the constant voltage independently of the adjustment unit. One of the second and third temperature characteristics is an opposite characteristic to the first temperature characteristic. The device can also include a control unit that selects one of the second and third voltages in response to a predetermined setting value.
