Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9304423A1] An auto-TC voltage reference (Vo) wherein an operational amplifier (20) receives at one input (22) the voltage of a Zener diode (24) and at its other input (38) receives a compensation signal from a feedback circuit (30A) comprising a transistor (Q4) and resistor network (40). When one of the resistors of the network is trimmed to give a nominal output voltage for the reference, the TC of the reference voltage will have been reduced to zero, or nearly so. The circuitry is capable of compensating Zener diodes of either positive or negative TC.
