[0044] In the present invention, the rapid detection of high and low voltages is achieved at extremely low power consumption through the Zener tube D1, the high-voltage NMOS tube M1, the positive feedback loop unit, the NMOS bias unit and the PMOS bias unit.

[0045] The present invention also provides a low static power consumption fast high and low voltage detection method performed in the above detection circuit, comprising:

[0046] When the voltage to be detected V senseWhen the low level jumps to the high level, the Zener tube D1 cooperates with the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 to make the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 enter the saturation region from the linear region and pull up its source potential. Then, the positive feedback loop unit and the first resistor R1 cooperate to make the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 enter the linear region and pull down its drain potential, so that the output of the Schmidt inverter INV1 jumps to the high level.

[0047] When the voltage to be detected V sense When the high level jumps to the low level, the Zener tube D1 cooperates with the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 to make the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 enter the linear region from the saturation region and pull down its source potential. Then, the positive feedback loop unit and the first resistor R1 cooperate to make the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 completely turned off, and then the Schmidt inverter INV1 outputs the logic signal High jumps to a low level.

[0048] According to the present invention, when the voltage to be detected V sense When the low level jumps to the high level, the Zener tube D1 cooperates with the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 to make the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 enter the saturation region from the linear region, and pull up its source potential including:

[0049] When the voltage to be detected V sense When the voltage jumps from low level to high level, the drain voltage of the high-voltage NMOS tube follows the voltage to be detected V sense Increases and is higher than the voltage to be detected V sense Lower than the voltage drop of Zener diode D1;

[0050] When the drain voltage of the high-voltage NMOS tube increases, its working state enters the saturation region from the linear region, so that its source potential is pulled up.

[0051] According to the present invention, the positive feedback loop unit and the first resistor R1 cooperate to make the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 enter the linear region and pull down its drain potential, and then the Schmidt inverter INV1 outputs a logic signal High that jumps to a high level, including:

[0052] When the source potential VA of the high-voltage NMOS tube is higher than the threshold voltage of the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5, the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 is turned on, and the current flows from the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 into the first resistor R1;

[0053] Since the current of the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 flows into the first resistor R1, the source potential of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 is raised, that is, the gate-source voltage of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 is reduced, and the current flowing through the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 is reduced, so that the drain potential of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 continues to rise, forming a positive feedback path. When the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 is fully turned on and enters the linear region, its drain potential is pulled down, so that the output logic signal High of the Schmidt inverter INV1 jumps to a high level, completing the high voltage detection.

[0054] According to the present invention, when the voltage to be detected V sense When the high level jumps to the low level, the Zener tube D1 cooperates with the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 to make the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 enter the linear region from the saturation region, and pull down its source potential including:

[0055] When the voltage to be detected V sense When the high level jumps to the low level, the drain voltage of the high-voltage NMOS tube follows the voltage to be detected V sense Lower than the voltage to be detected V sense Lower than the voltage drop of Zener diode D1;

[0059] Since the current flowing through the first resistor R1 decreases, the source potential of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 decreases, that is, the gate-source voltage of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 increases, and the current flowing through the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 increases, so that the drain potential of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 continues to decrease, forming a positive feedback path. When the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 is completely turned off, at this time, the current flowing through the first bias PMOS tube M6 raises its drain potential, so that it enters the linear region, so that the output logic signal High of the Schmidt inverter INV1 jumps to a low level, completing the low voltage detection.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a low static power consumption fast high and low voltage detection circuit, including:

[0062] Zener diode D1, output terminal and voltage to be detected Vsense Electrical connection;

[0064] The positive feedback loop unit includes a first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 and a second positive feedback NMOS tube M3, wherein the gate of the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 and the drain of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 are electrically connected to the source of the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 at the same time;

[0065] A first resistor R1, one end of which is electrically connected to the source of the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 and the source of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3, and the other end of which is electrically connected to the ground;

[0066] The Schmitt inverter INV1, whose input is electrically connected to the drain of the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5, and whose output serves as a logic signal High output terminal of the detection circuit;

[0067] The NMOS bias unit includes a first bias NMOS tube M2 and a second bias NMOS tube M4, wherein the gate of the first bias NMOS tube M2 is electrically connected to its own drain, and is also electrically connected to the gate of the second bias NMOS tube M4 and the gate of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3;

[0068] A second resistor R2, one end of which is electrically connected to the source of the first bias NMOS transistor M2, and the other end of which is electrically connected to the ground;

[0069] A third resistor R3, one end of which is electrically connected to the source of the second bias NMOS transistor M4, and the other end of which is electrically connected to the ground;

[0070] A PMOS bias unit, comprising a first bias PMOS tube M6 and a second bias PMOS tube M7, wherein the gate of the first bias PMOS tube M6 is electrically connected to the gate of the second bias PMOS tube M7, and the sources of both are electrically connected to the power supply Vcc, the drain of the first bias PMOS tube M6 is electrically connected to the drain of the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5, the drain of the second bias PMOS tube M7 is electrically connected to the drain of the second bias NMOS tube M4, and the gate of the second bias PMOS tube M7 is also electrically connected to its own drain;

[0071] A bias resistor R4, one end of which is electrically connected to the power supply Vcc, and the other end of which is electrically connected to the drain of the first bias NMOS tube M4;

[0072] In this embodiment, the first bias PMOS tube M6 and the second bias PMOS tube M7 have the same size, and the two form a PMOS current mirror structure;

[0073] The first bias NMOS transistor M2 and the second bias NMOS transistor M4 have the same size, and the two form an NMOS current mirror structure.

[0074] This embodiment provides a low static power consumption fast high and low voltage detection method, including:

[0075] When the voltage to be detected V sense When the voltage level changes from low to high, the drain voltage of the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 follows the voltage to be detected V sense Increases, through the Zener tube D1, making the drain voltage of the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 higher than V sense The voltage is lower than the voltage drop of a Zener diode;

[0076] The power supply Vcc is the 5V power supply inside the chip. When the drain voltage of the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 increases, its working state enters the saturation region from the linear region, causing the source potential VA of the high-voltage NMOS tube to increase.

[0077] When the potential at the VA point is higher than the threshold voltage of the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5, the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 is turned on, and the current flows from the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 into the first resistor R1;

[0078] Since the current of the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 flows into the first resistor R1, the source voltage of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 is raised, that is, the gate-source voltage of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 is reduced, and the current flowing through the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 is reduced, so that the drain voltage VA of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 continues to rise, forming a positive feedback path, and the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 is fully turned on. The first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 enters the linear region to pull down the drain potential VC of the first positive feedback NMOS tube, so that the logic signal High jumps to a high level, completing the high voltage detection function;

[0079] Contrary to the above process, when the voltage to be detected V sense When the high level jumps to the low level, the drain voltage of the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 follows the voltage to be detected V sense Reduce, through Zener diode D1, so that the drain voltage of M1 is lower than the Vsense voltage by a Zener diode voltage drop;

[0080] The power supply Vcc is the 5V power supply inside the chip. When the drain voltage of the high-voltage NMOS tube M1 decreases, its working state enters the linear region from the saturation region, causing the source potential VA of the high-voltage NMOS tube to decrease.

[0081] When the source potential VA of the high-voltage NMOS tube is lower than the threshold voltage of the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5, the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 is turned off, and the current flowing through the first resistor R1 is reduced;

[0082] Since the current flowing through the first resistor R1 decreases, the source voltage of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 decreases, that is, the gate-source voltage of the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 increases, and the current flowing through the second positive feedback NMOS tube M3 increases, so that the source potential VA of the high-voltage NMOS tube continues to decrease, forming a positive feedback path, and the first positive feedback NMOS tube M5 is completely turned off;

[0083] At this time, the current in the first bias PMOS tube M6 will raise the drain potential VC of the first positive feedback NMOS tube, so that the first bias PMOS tube M6 enters the linear region, and the logic signal High jumps to a low level, indicating that V sense The voltage is already at a low level, and the detection waveforms of the high voltage detection flip and the low voltage detection flip delay are as follows Figure 4 shown.

The method according to claim 7, characterized in that The positive feedback loop unit and the first resistor cooperate to completely turn off the first positive feedback NMOS tube, and then the output logic signal of the Schmitt inverter jumps to a low level, including: When the source potential of the high-voltage NMOS tube is lower than the threshold voltage of the first positive feedback NMOS tube, the first positive feedback NMOS tube is turned off, and the current flowing into the first resistor is reduced; Since the current flowing through the first resistor decreases, the source voltage of the second positive feedback NMOS tube decreases, that is, the gate-source voltage of the second positive feedback NMOS tube increases, and the current flowing through the second positive feedback NMOS tube increases, so that the drain potential of the second positive feedback NMOS tube continues to decrease, forming a positive feedback path. When the first positive feedback NMOS tube is completely turned off, the current flowing through the first bias PMOS tube raises its drain potential, causing it to enter the linear region, thereby causing the Schmidt inverter output logic signal to jump to a low level, completing the low voltage detection.
