Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method is provided for adjusting a reference voltage at an output terminal of a floating gate reference voltage generator circuit in order to improve the accuracy of the reference voltage at an input terminal of a load circuit. The apparatus and method compensates for the voltage drop produced between the output terminal of the reference voltage generator circuit and the input terminal of the load circuit, and includes a capacitor for capacitively coupling the voltage at the input terminal of said load circuit to a floating gate, and a differential amplifier operatively coupled to the floating gate which acts in response to the capacitively coupled load circuit input voltage to adjust the voltage at the output terminal such that the voltage at the input terminal of the load circuit becomes equal to the reference voltage.
