A voltage reference generator is disclosed that includes a current
generator for generating a current that is proportional to absolute
temperature (PTAT), the current generator having an internal resistance.
This provides a PTAT current that is proportional to the resistance and
wherein the temperature coefficient of the PTAT current is defined by the
resistance. An output node is driven by the current generator with the
PTAT current. A stack of serial connected MOS devices is connected
between the output voltage and a ground reference voltage. The stack of
transistors has a transimpedance associated therewith which has a
temperature coefficient that is opposite in polarity to the temperature
coefficient of the internal resistance and of a magnitude to provide a
voltage on the output node that is substantially stable over temperature.
