Provided is a reference voltage circuit in which a temperature characteristic of a reference voltage is excellent and a circuit scale is small. In the reference voltage circuit, for example, a temperature correction circuit separated from the reference voltage circuit is not used and a difference voltage between threshold voltages of two E-type NMOS transistors (14 and 15) is added to a threshold voltage of a D-type NMOS transistor to generate a reference voltage (Vref). Therefore, the influence of the D-type NMOS transistor on the reference voltage (Vref), which is a degradation factor of the temperature characteristic of the reference voltage (Vref), may be reduced to suppress a change in tilt and curve of the reference voltage (Vref) with respect to a temperature.
