    Abstract: A power on reset circuit comprises terminals for reference and supply potentials and a voltage divider coupled therebetween. First and second transistors of a bandgap circuit are resistively coupled to the reference potential terminal and have bases connected to the voltage divider. Current mirrors couple the collectors of the first and second transistors to an output terminal providing an output signal indicating a power on reset condition. A first compensation transistor is coupled between the collector of one of the transistors and the reference potential terminal, and a second compensation transistor is coupled between the output terminal and the reference potential terminal to compensate the effect of parasitic substrate currents in response to an external interference.

    Abstract: A voltage generating circuit, in which the influence of offset of an amplifier on an output voltage is reduced, has first and second bipolar transistors (Q1, Q2) having emitter terminals at the same electric potential. A base terminal of Q1 is disposed on a collector side of Q2. A first resistance element connects the collector side of Q2 with the base side of Q2; and a second resistance element (R1) connects a collector side of Q1 to R2. A third resistance element (R3) connects a base terminal of Q2 with the electric potential of the emitter terminals. An amplifier (A1) outputs a voltage based on a voltage difference between the collector sides of Q1 and Q2; and a voltage-current converting section (MP1, MP2) converts amplifier output into a current supplied to the connection node of R1 and R2. A voltage is then output on the basis of the generated current.
