Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the prior art, since the bandgap reference circuit is generally a closed-loop feedback loop, it needs to go through the process of positive feedback, negative feedback, and oscillation stabilization from start-up to stable output of the reference voltage. Therefore, the output of the reference voltage required by the bandgap reference circuit It takes a long time, which makes it take a long time for the entire FLASH chip to start and then return to the normal working state

Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a method for starting a chip and a FLASH chip. The method includes: when a power supply voltage is input, outputting an initial reference voltage througha fast reference circuit corresponding to the power supply voltage, and outputting a reference voltage through a bandgap reference circuit, wherein the time taken for the fast reference circuit to output the initial reference voltage is shorter than the time taken for the bandgap reference circuit to output the reference voltage; inputting an initial reference voltage into a buffer to start the buffer and sequentially starting at least one charge pump and a memory array through the buffer; when the bandgap reference circuit outputs the reference voltage, switching the initial reference voltage input to the buffer to the reference voltage. A fast reference circuit is added to the FLASH chip in the embodiment of the present application, and the initial reference voltage output from the circuit is used to start the buffer, the charge pump and the memory array, thereby starting the FLASH chip, greatly shortening the startup time of the chip and improving the efficiency of reading and writing data of the chip.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of chip technology, in particular to a method for starting a chip and a FLASH chip. Background technique [0002] FLASH is widely used in various electronic devices because of its advantage of keeping internal data from being lost even when the power is turned off. Usually, in order to save power, users can power off the FLASH when they do not need to use it. At this time, the FLASH enters a deep standby state. When the user needs to use the FLASH, the chip of the FLASH needs to be activated to restore the FLASH to normal operation. state. [0003] In order to facilitate the description of the process of FLASH recovering from the deep standby state to the normal working state under normal circumstances, the internal structure of the FLASH chip is firstly introduced. Such as figure 1 As shown, the FLASH chip mainly includes a bandgap reference circuit, a buffer, a charge pump and a memory array, and these ...
