A low-impedance voltage supply for providing a relatively constant reference voltage independent of the magnitude of the current flowing through the source. The circuit includes a transistor whose base is connected to the junction of two resistors in a voltage divider network. The voltage divider network is driven from a diode connected through a resistor to a potential source. The collector of the transistor is connected to another diode which is fed through the same resistor from the potential source.
