[0039] One end of the third capacitor 020 is connected to the common end between the fifth switch 016 and the sixth switch 017, and the other end of the third capacitor 020 is connected to the common end between the seventh switch 018 and the eighth switch;

[0040] One end of the first capacitor 03 is connected to the common end between the sixth switch 017 and the seventh switch 018, and the other end of the first capacitor 03, the other end of the fourth switch 015 and the other end of the eighth switch 019 are all connected to the equipotential node;

[0041] When the fifth switch 016 and the seventh switch 018 are turned off, and the sixth switch 017 and the eighth switch are turned on, the first capacitor 03 and the third capacitor 020 are connected in parallel, and the second voltage divider circuit 04-2 outputs a voltage of 1 / 2 of the power supply voltage through the first capacitor 03; or,

[0088] Embodiment 7

[0089] like Fig.10 As shown, the comparison circuit 02 includes: a first switch tube 077, a second switch tube 078, a current mirror, a first sub-circuit and a second sub-circuit;

[0090] The current mirror includes a driving tube 080 and a load tube 081 connected to each other, the first sub-circuit is connected to the driving tube 080, and the second sub-circuit is connected to the load tube 081;

[0091] The first switch tube 077 is connected to the output end of the voltage divider circuit, the second switch tube 078 is connected to the reference voltage output end, the first switch tube 077 and the second switch tube 078 are connected to a current source, the first sub-circuit is connected to the first switch tube 077, and the second sub-circuit is connected to the second switch tube 078;

[0092] The signal output circuit is connected to the common end of the load tube 081 of the current mirror and the second sub-circuit. The signal output circuit is also provided with a signal conversion circuit 088 for converting analog signals into digital signals.

[0093] When the voltage outputted by the output terminal of the voltage divider circuit is greater than the voltage outputted by the reference voltage output terminal, the first switch tube 077 is turned off, no current flows through the first sub-circuit and the current mirror, the second switch tube 078 is turned on, and the current provided by the current source flows through the second switch tube 078 and the second sub-circuit in sequence, and the signal output circuit outputs a signal indicating that the power supply is in a normal working state;

[0094] When the voltage outputted from the output end of the voltage divider circuit is less than the reference voltage, the first switch tube 077 and the second switch tube 078 are turned on at the same time, and the current provided by the current source flows through the first switch tube 077, the second switch tube 078, the first sub-circuit, the second sub-circuit and the current mirror, and the signal outputted by the signal output circuit indicates that the power supply is in an undervoltage state.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, the first sub-circuit includes a first NMOS transistor 082, a second NMOS transistor 083 and a third NMOS transistor 084 connected in sequence, the third NMOS transistor 084 is connected to the driving transistor 080, and the first NMOS transistor 082 is connected to the first switch transistor 077;

[0096] The second sub-circuit includes a fourth NMOS tube 085 , a fifth NMOS tube 086 and a sixth NMOS tube 087 which are connected in sequence. The sixth NMOS tube 087 is connected to the driving tube 080 , and the fourth NMOS tube 085 is connected to the second switch tube 078 .

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, a low-power voltage comparison circuit is used to generate a final comparison result. In the embodiment of the present application, the comparison circuit 02 adopts a current mirror load mode. When the power supply undervoltage does not occur in the comparison circuit 02, only the second switch tube 078 and the second sub-circuit will consume current. When the voltage output by the output end of the voltage divider circuit is greater than the voltage output by the reference voltage output end, the first switch tube 077 is in an off state, and the bias current provided by the current source only flows through the second switch tube 078. The voltage of the common terminal A connected to the gates of the first NMOS tube 082 and the second NMOS tube 083 in the first sub-circuit is not 0, the current of the branch formed by the second NMOS tube 083 and the driving tube 080 is 0, and the fifth NMOS tube 086 and the load tube 081 branch are 0. The current of the circuit is also 0, and the overall current consumption is only the current on the second switch tube 078. When the voltage output by the output end of the voltage divider circuit is less than the voltage output by the reference voltage output end (power supply undervoltage occurs), the first switch tube 077 and the second switch tube 078 are both turned on, and the bias current also flows through the first switch tube 077. At this time, the overall current includes the sum of the currents flowing through the first sub-circuit, the first switch tube 077, the second switch tube 078, the second sub-circuit and the current mirror. Therefore, when the power supply is working normally, the comparison circuit provided by the present application consumes very little current, and when the power supply is in an undervoltage state, although the comparison circuit 02 consumes more current than when the power supply is in normal operation, the chip is in a power-off state at this time, so it will not consume current.

[0099] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the electronic device provided by the second aspect are the same as the beneficial effects of the undervoltage detection circuit provided by the first aspect, which will not be described in detail here.

[0100] The electronic device may be a chip or other electronic devices.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
