    摘要: A semiconductor device is disclosed including a current generator circuit that generates a first current substantially proportional to an absolute temperature, the first current being determined by a size ratio of a MOS transistor, and by a resistor; and a starting-up circuit that causes the current generator circuit to generate the first current at a stable working point of the current generator circuit, wherein while the current generator circuit operates at the stable working point, a current that flows through the starting-up circuit is determined by a diffusion resistance and a MOS transistor. When the current generator circuit starts operating at a stable operating point, resistance of the diffusion resistor and a MOS transistor connected in series determines a current that flows through a starting-up circuit. According to the above arrangements, the power consumption of the circuit can be reduced by increasing the resistance of the diffused resistor.

    摘要: The present invention is contrived to adopt a differential pair type amplifier circuit comprising a differential pair constituted by a first transistor receiving an input of a first signal and by a second transistor receiving an input of a third signal generated by outputting a second signal of which the voltage level is a power supply voltage. Elements requiring a matching are two transistors constituting the differential pair for the amplifier circuit. Because of this, the elements requiring a matching can be placed close to each other regardless of a layout between the amplifier circuits.

    摘要: A band gap circuit includes a voltage generating circuit, and a first and a second switched capacitor circuits (SCC). Operational amplifier in the first and the second SCC are connected though a coupling capacitor. Capacitance of the coupling capacitor is smaller than that of a feedback capacitor in the first SCC. A PTAT voltage is obtained by multiplying a thermal voltage by a coefficient determined based on capacitances of input capacitors and feedback capacitors in each of the first and the second SCC, and the coupling capacitor. The voltage generating circuit generates a forward bias voltage that has a negative temperature-dependency at a p-n junction. The PTAT voltage is added to the forward bias voltage to generate a reference voltage independent of temperature.

    摘要: A reference voltage generation circuit has transistors generating a PTAT current that increases in proportion to temperature, a transistor generating a CTAT current that decreases in proportion to temperature, a first variable resistor adjusting an output voltage, a transistor supplying the PTAT current to the first variable resistor via a first switch, a transistor supplying the CTAT current to the first variable resistor via a second switch, and a second variable resistor adjusting the CTAT current. The first switch is on in first and third operation modes and off in a second operation mode. The second switch is on in the first and second operation modes and off in the third operation mode. Switching the operation modes realizes independently outputting a PTAT voltage or a CTAT voltage. Independently adjusting the voltages makes it possible to correct output reference voltage of the reference voltage generation circuit accurately at low cost.
