SIGNAL-GENERATION CIRCUITRY

Signal-generation circuitry comprising: a differential amplifier comprising first and second input transistors connected along first and second corresponding current paths, control terminals of the first and second input transistors serving as corresponding first and second input terminals of the differential amplifier, the differential amplifier having an output terminal at which an amplified signal is output dependent on first and second input signals received at the first and second input terminals, respectively; bandgap voltage reference circuitry also comprising said first current path having said first input transistor, the bandgap voltage reference circuitry further comprising a third current path having a third input transistor, wherein the control terminals of the first and third input transistors are connected together to form a reference terminal at which a bandgap voltage reference signal is generated as said first input signal; and a regulation stage connected to receive the amplified signal output from the differential amplifier and configured to generate a voltage-regulated signal based thereon, and connected to the second input terminal of the differential amplifier so that the second input signal is a feedback signal dependent on the voltage-regulated signal.
