VOLTAGE GENERATOR
A voltage generator circuit can be structured to provide an output voltage having a substantially flat temperature coefficient by use of a circuit loop having transistors and a resistor arranged such that, in operation, current through the resistor has a signed temperature coefficient. The current behavior can be controlled by an output transistor coupled to another transistor, which is coupled to the circuit loop, with this other transistor sized such that, in operation, a voltage of this other transistor has a signed temperature coefficient that is opposite in sign to the signed temperature coefficient of the current through the resistor. Embodiments of voltage generator circuits can also include additional components to trim output voltage, to provide unconditional stability, or other features for the respective voltage generator circuit. In various embodiments, a voltage generator circuit can be implemented as a low drop-out (LDO) voltage regulator.
