A current reference circuit is disclosed. A small startup current is defined as the base current into a bipolar transistor with its collector-emitter path connected in series with a resistor between the power supply voltage and ground. This startup current is conducted via a diode-connected MOS transistor in a first leg of a current mirror. Temperature compensation is maintained by a reference leg in the current mirror that includes a bipolar transistor having an emitter area N times larger than that of a bipolar transistor in a second leg of the current mirror, to establish a temperature-compensated current in the reference leg. A compensation capacitor connected between the collector and base of a bipolar transistor in the first leg suppresses oscillation, and can be modest in size due to the Miller effect.
