PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reference circuit for generating a voltage depending on temperatures, which is used for a mobile information device. SOLUTION: The reference circuit 100 for generating the voltage depending on the temperatures, comprising: a differential amplifier 104; a capacitor 108; a first transistor 106, a first resistor element 110, and a first diode 112, which configure a first circuit; a second resistor element 114 configuring a second circuit; and a second transistor 116 and a third resistor element 118, which configure a third circuit. An input unit 120, which receives a minus voltage of the differential amplifier 104, receives an input voltage VIN, and an output unit 122 connects to one side of the condenser 108, a gate for the first transistor 106, and a gate for the second transistor 116; the first circuit generates a current ITD depending on the temperatures and the second circuit generates a first current ICC. The third circuit is configured for the first current ICC for the second circuit and the current ITD depending on the temperatures such that the third circuit may generate a voltage VREF depending on the temperatures.
