The drain of the NM4 tube is connected to the second bias terminal of the second-stage Schmitt trigger 17.
[0024] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the low power consumption power-on reset circuit 100 mainly includes two key parts: a voltage detection module 11 and a quantization delay module. The voltage detection module 11 includes a current mirror 111, two NMOS transistor pairs 113 with proportional width-to-length ratios (i.e., NM0 and NM1 transistors, , Indicates the width-to-length ratio of the NM0 tube, represents the width-to-length ratio of the NM1 tube, k is a proportional coefficient), resistor R0, resistor R1, resistor R2 and startup load capacitor PM2, resistor R0, resistor R1 and resistor R2 form a voltage divider resistor network for providing variable voltage division. Current mirror 111 is composed of two PMOS tubes (i.e., PM0 tube and PM1 tube). The quantized delay module includes a two-stage Schmitt trigger (ST) and an intermediate delay circuit.
[0025] The circuit working principle of the low power consumption power-on reset circuit 100 may be as follows: In the process of the power supply voltage VDD rising from 0, when the power supply voltage VDD is relatively low, the PMOS tube and the NMOS tube cannot be fully turned on. At this time, the source voltage of the PM1 tube follows the power supply voltage VDD because the charging of the startup load capacitor PM2 is started, ensuring that when the power supply voltage VDD is relatively low, the entire circuit is still in the output reset state.
[0026] As the power supply voltage VDD increases, both PM0 and NM0 are turned on and the current flowing through branch 1 I Also increases and satisfies the following formula: (1) in, , , Indicates the threshold voltage of the PMOS tube, Represents the threshold voltage of the NMOS tube, W represents the transistor width, L represents the transistor length, represents the electron mobility of the NM0 tube, represents the electron mobility of PM0 tube, is the gate oxide capacitance, R 0 represents the resistance value of resistor R0, R 1 represents the resistance value of resistor R1, R 2 represents the resistance value of resistor R2, V DD Indicates the value of the power supply voltage VDD.
[0027] The gate voltage of NM1 tube is: (2) Among them, when the NM2 tube is turned on, the voltage divider resistance value ; When NM2 is turned off, the voltage divider resistance value .
[0028] Because the current mirror 111 formed by PM0 and PM1 makes the current of branch 1 and branch 2 I Keeping them equal, to make NM1 work in the saturation region, the gate voltage required for NM1 is: (3) When the current is small and Sometimes, there is At this time, the voltage at point A is higher than the voltage at point B, and the voltage detection module 11 continues to output a high level.
[0029] when Sometimes, there is At this time, the voltage at point A is equal to the voltage at point B, and branch 1 becomes the input signal source for dividing the power supply voltage VDD, while the NM1 tube and the PM1 tube form a common-source amplifier with a large gain.
[0030] when Sometimes, there is At this time, the voltage at point A is lower than the voltage at point B, and the output of the voltage detection module 11 flips to a low level.
[0031] Therefore, as the power supply voltage VDD increases, the current flowing through branch 1 and branch 2 increases accordingly. When the voltage rises again, the output of the voltage detection module 11 will become a low level.
[0032] The quantized delay module converts the output result of the voltage detection module 11 into digital logic. At the same time, the intermediate delay unit 13 charges the PM5 tube used as a capacitor to generate several tens of (microseconds) delay, and when the power supply voltage VDD is relatively low, Figure 1 Point C in the circuit outputs a high level, and the resistor R2 is short-circuited. At this time, a higher power supply voltage VDD is required to flip the output of the voltage detection module 11. At the same time, when the power supply voltage VDD is relatively high and the point C outputs a low level, the resistor R2 is connected to the branch 1. At this time, a lower power supply voltage is required to flip the output of the voltage detection module 11. Therefore, the output of the voltage detection module 11 achieves the effect of hysteresis voltage.
[0033] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, another low-power power-on reset circuit 200 is also provided, including a voltage detection module 11 and a quantization delay module. The quantization delay module includes an intermediate delay unit 13 and a two-stage Schmitt trigger. The two input ends of the two-stage Schmitt trigger are respectively connected to the first power supply voltage and the second power supply voltage, and the output end of the first-stage Schmitt trigger 15 is connected to the first control end of the intermediate delay unit 13. The output end of the intermediate delay unit 13 is connected to the control end of the second-stage Schmitt trigger 17, and the output end of the second-stage Schmitt trigger 17 is used to provide a stable reset signal.
[0034] The voltage detection module 11 includes a current mirror 111, an NMOS tube pair 113 with a proportional aspect ratio, a voltage-dividing resistor unit 115, and a startup load capacitor PM2. The input end of the current mirror 111 is connected to the first power supply voltage, the output end of the current mirror 111 is connected to the input end of the NMOS tube pair 113, and the control end of the current mirror 111 is connected to the second control end of the intermediate delay unit 13. The output end of the NMOS tube pair 113 is grounded through the voltage-dividing resistor unit 115.

The circuit working principle of the low power consumption power-on reset circuit 200 in this embodiment can be understood by referring to the circuit working principle of the low power consumption power-on reset circuit 100 in the above embodiment, and the only difference is that the variable voltage division is realized by connecting or disconnecting the resistor R0, which will not be repeated here.
[0036] The above-mentioned low-power power-on reset circuit 200 realizes low-power and high-stability power-on reset and power-on detection functions by utilizing the hysteresis characteristics of the Schmitt trigger and combining the complementary control of PMOS and NMOS transistors. It not only provides the necessary reset delay, but also helps to reduce the power consumption of the circuit during the startup process. At the same time, in order to further improve the performance, a voltage detection hysteresis function is provided to provide an additional protection mechanism to prevent the voltage from being too low due to power supply fluctuations. Compared with the prior art, the low-power consumption characteristics of CMOS transistors are utilized to significantly reduce the overall power consumption of the power-on reset circuit.
