A reference voltage generating circuit includes voltage outputting means for
outputting
a reference voltage corresponding to a difference between a band gap reference
voltage and an input voltage; a first resistor having one end that is coupled to
the output of the voltage outputting unit; first variable resistor unit having
a plurality of second resistors that are serially coupled between the first resistor
and a ground voltage, for providing the input voltage of the voltage outputting
unit with a first trimming voltage that is inputted to one end of selected one
of the plurality of the second resistors in response to decoded signals for trimming
the reference voltage; second variable resistor having a plurality of third resistors
coupled serially between the first resistor and the ground voltage, the third resistors
having different resistances from the second resistors, for providing the input
voltage of the voltage outputting unit with a second trimming voltage that is inputted
to one end of selected one of the plurality of the third resistors in response
to the decoded signals for trimming the reference voltage; and selecting unit for
selectively providing the first trimming voltage or the second trimming voltage
to the input voltage of the voltage outputting unit.
