Abstract: A bandgap voltage reference circuit employs a Vbe voltage multiplier network in a feedback line of an output amplifier of the bandgap reference circuit, thus permitting to independently fix the output voltage that is produced and the temperature coefficient thereof. A voltage reference having a linear negative temperature coefficient in an extended temperature variation range may be obtained, starting from a bandgap reference voltage with a positive temperature coefficient.

Abstract: A circuit (30) for biasing epitaxial wells of a semiconductor integrated circuit comprises a first transistor (T1) and a second transistor (T2) driven in phase opposition to the first; when the supply voltage is positive, the first transistor (T1), being connected between the power supply and the epitaxial well, is conducting whereas the second transistor (T2) is cut off. When, on the contrary, the supply voltage is negative, the second transistor (T2), being connected between the epitaxial well and the ground reference GND, goes into saturation, thereby holding the epitaxial well biased to ground since, at that time, it is the highest potential present on the device. In this way, it becomes possible to always ensure reverse biasing of the parasitic diodes which form at the junctions between the epitaxial wells and the adjacent regions thereto.
