A reference buffer circuit is disclosed, providing a reference voltage at
an output node and comprising a closed-loop branch comprising an
amplifier and first and second MOS transistors and an open-loop branch
comprising third and fourth MOS transistors and a tracking circuit. The
first MOS transistor has a gate coupled to an output terminal of the
amplifier and a source coupled to a negative input terminal of the
amplifier. The second MOS transistor is coupled to the source of the
first MOS transistor. The third MOS transistor has a gate coupled to the
output terminal and a source coupled to the output node. The fourth MOS
transistor has a drain coupled to the source of the third MOS transistor.
A gate voltage of the fourth MOS transistor tracks a drain voltage of the
third MOS transistor through the tracking circuit.
