1. A reference voltage generator circuit, comprising:
a first current path formed between an input terminal supplied with a first reference voltage and an output terminal and including a first diode and a first resistor serially connected from said input terminal;
a second current path formed between said input terminal and said output terminal and including a second diode, a second resistor and a third resistor serially connected from said input terminal;
a first comparator supplied with a voltage on a first node between said first diode and said first resistor and a voltage on a second node between said second resistor and said third resistor for comparative amplication; and
a transistor connected between said output terminal and a second reference voltage and having a control terminal to receive an output from said first comparator.
