Summary:Provided is a reference voltage circuit capable of outputting, with a low voltage and low current consumption, a voltage that is less liable to change due to a temperature change, and has a low GND terminal reference voltage. The reference voltage circuit includes a first NMOS transistor and a second NMOS transistor connected by a current mirror circuit, the first NMOS transistor having a gate and a drain connected to each other via a first resistor, the second NMOS transistor having a gate connected to the drain of the first NMOS transistor, and a source connected to a GND terminal via a second resistor, the second NMOS transistor having a threshold voltage lower than a threshold voltage of the first NMOS transistor, in which a reference voltage is output from the source of the second NMOS transistor.
