Abstract

An MOS integrated circuit for providing a stable reference voltage. The voltage thresholds of an enhancement mode transistor and depletion mode transistor are substracted to provide the stable reference potential. The reference potential is stable for both temperature and power supply variations, including variations in a substrate biasing potential.
