Title: Flat-band voltage reference

Abstract: A flat-band voltage reference includes two insulated-gate field-effect transistors, hereinafter IGFETs, which are substantially identical except for their flat-band voltage characteristics and which are biased to carry equal drain currents at equal drain voltages. The resulting difference in potential between the gate contacts of the IGFETs produces a voltage reference which is substantially independent of variances in operating points, supply potentials, and temperature.
