description A band gap voltage reference circuit includes first and second NPN transistors coupled as differential pair having ratioed emitters, to produce an offset voltage, and third and fourth emitter-coupled PNP transistors connected as a current mirror to function as load devices for the first and second transistors. The emitters of the third and fourth transistors are coupled to a current source and also to a fifth PNP emitter follower transistor which drives the base of a sixth emitter follower transistor connected to the collector of a seventh transistor, the emitter of which is connected to a series string including first and second resistors. The emitter of the seventh transistor is coupled to the base of the first transistor and the junction between the first and second resistors is coupled to the base of the second transistor. The emitter of the sixth transistor is coupled to series connected third and fourth resistors, the junction of which is coupled to the base of the seventh transistor. The ratio of the first and second resistors is adjusted to cause a band gap voltage produced on the base of the seventh transistor to have a very low temperature coefficient. The third and fourth resistors are ratioed to produce an output voltage at the emitter of the sixth transistor which is scaled up from the band gap voltage.
