[0078] First, for the convenience of understanding the working principle of the power-on reset circuit with hysteresis effect provided by the embodiments of the present application, first, the power-on process and the power-off process of the power-on reset circuit will be described in detail.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 , which is a schematic diagram of the behavior of the reset signal during the power-on and power-off processes provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0080] As Figure 3 shown, for the power-on reset circuit, as time (Time) goes by, during the process of the power supply voltage VDD rising from 0 to the normal operating voltage of the circuit system, only when the power supply voltage VDD is higher than the power-on threshold V PORR of the power-on reset circuit, the reset signal RSTN changes from logic 0 (Logic0) to logic 1 (Logic1). After other modules of the circuit system receive this signal, the global reset ends and normal operation starts.

[0081] During the process of the power supply voltage VDD dropping from the normal voltage to 0, only when the power supply voltage VDD is lower than the power-off threshold V PORF of the power-on reset circuit, the reset signal RSTN changes from logic 1 to logic 0, and other modules in the circuit system perform a global reset after receiving this signal.

[0082] For the power-on reset circuit as Figure 2 shown, set the output voltage of the pre-stage circuit as V1, the output voltage of the first inverter as V2, the voltage of the second inverter as V4, the voltage between the drain of NMOS4 and the source of NMOS3 as V3, the output voltage of the third inverter as V5 (i.e., the input voltage of the first input terminal of the AND operation module is set as V5), and the input voltage of the second input terminal of the AND operation module as V6.

[0083] During the power-on process, when the power supply voltage VDD is greater than 0 and less than V TH4 , NMOS1 to NMOS4 are all in the off state. At this time, the node voltage of V1 is equal to VDD.

[0084] In this case, since the voltage value of VDD is too small to turn on PMOS1, there is a small leakage current in NMOS2. Therefore, the node voltage of V2 is between 0 and VDD and is closer to 0. Further, for PMOS2 and NMOS5, the two form an inverter. Therefore, the leakage current of PMOS2 makes the node voltage of V4 between 0 and VDD and closer to VDD.

[0085] During this process, in order to avoid the influence of the V2 node voltage on the subsequent circuit reset, the fourth inverter, the fifth inverter, and the capacitor C1 are used to generate V6 (the potential of V6 is 0) with a time delay, and the potential of V6 (0) and the potential of V5 (0) are input into the AND operation module together, so that the reset signal of the data of the AND operation module is 0.

[0086] As the power supply voltage VDD continues to increase, when VDD is in the range of V TH4 to V TH2 , since the gate and drain of NMOS1 are connected, in this case, the node voltage of V1 is equal to the conduction voltage of NMOS1, that is, V1 = V TH1 . During this process, the leakage current of NMOS2 gradually increases, and PMOS1 is not conducting. The node voltage of V2 is pulled down to ground by NMOS2. In this state, the node voltage of V2 is 0. For PMOS2 and NMOS5, when the node voltage of V2 is 0, PMOS2 conducts and NMOS5 turns off. The node voltage of V4 is pulled up to the power supply voltage VDD by PMOS2. Further, for NMOS4, at this time, the gate voltage of NMOS4 is equal to the node voltage of V4, that is, the gate voltage of NMOS4 is equal to the power supply voltage VDD, which is greater than the conduction voltage V TH4 of NMOS4, NMOS4 conducts, and the node voltage of V3 is pulled down to ground; for NMOS3, NMOS3 conducts, but the node voltage of V2 is always 0.

[0087] During this process, the node voltage of V4 is VDD, the potentials of V5 and V6 received by the AND operation module are both 0, and the reset signal output by the AND operation is still 0.

[0088] As the power supply voltage VDD continues to increase, since the node voltage of V1 is always equal to V TH1 (that is, the gate voltages of NMOS2 and PMOS1 are always equal to V TH1) and since VTH4 is less than VTH3. Therefore, the pull-down current flowing through NMOS3 and NMOS4 will no longer increase with the increase of VDD. During this process, the leakage current of POMS1 gradually conducts as the power supply voltage VDD increases, and the node voltage of V2 gradually rises.

[0089] When the node voltage of V2 gradually rises to V2 greater than V TH5 In this case, NMOS5 conducts, and the node voltage of V4 will be pulled down as NMOS5 conducts until the node voltage of V4 is less than V TH4 , NMOS4 turns off. In this case, the voltage of V3 will rise, and NMOS3 remains in a weak-on state until the power supply voltage VDD is equal to the power-on threshold V PORR of the power-on reset circuit. In this state, the node voltage of V2 is equal to the power supply voltage VDD, the node voltage of V4 is equal to 0, and the node voltage of V4 is input to the output filtering circuit, so that the potentials of the first input terminal and the second input terminal of the AND operation module of the output filtering circuit are both 1, and finally a reset signal with an output potential of 1 is output to complete the power-on process of the reset circuit.

[0090] For the power-down process of the power-on reset circuit:

[0091] When the power supply voltage VDD drops from the normal value, the node voltage of V2 decreases as the power supply voltage VDD decreases until the node voltage of V2 is less than V TH5 At this time, the node voltage of V4 rises, NMOS4 and NMOS3 conduct, and the node voltage of V2 is pulled down to 0. At this time, the power supply voltage VDD is equal to the power-down threshold V PORF of the power-on reset circuit. After that, the node voltage of V2 is 0, the node voltage of V4 is equal to the power supply voltage VDD, and the current IPD flowing through NMOS3 and NMOS4 is approximately equal to 0, and the reset signal finally output by the power-on reset circuit remains 0.

[0092] Based on the description of the power-on process and the power-down process of the power-on reset circuit with hysteresis effect described above, it can be seen that the reset voltage of the power-on reset circuit is determined by V1, V2, and V TH5 The power consumption of the power-on reset circuit during operation is determined by the first resistor R1 of the pre-stage circuit and V TH1 . In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the resistance value of R1 is about 10 Mohm. In a typical application scenario where VDD = 3.3V, the static current of the power-on reset circuit is less than 0.5 μA.

[0093] Furthermore, the hysteresis function of the power-on reset circuit is determined by the node voltage of V2 reaching the power-on threshold V PORR and the power-down threshold V PORFIt is determined by the difference between the corresponding power supply voltage VDD. During the power-on process, when the node voltage of V2 is equal to V TH5 the current flowing through NMOS3 and NMOS4 is limited to a constant pull-down current (IPD); during the power-off process, if the node voltage of V2 is equal to V TH5 the pull-down current flowing through NMOS3 and NMOS4 is approximately equal to 0.

[0094] Therefore, with the pull-up ability of PMOS1 unchanged, during the power-on process, the power supply voltage corresponding to when the node voltage of V2 is equal to V TH5 is greater than the power supply voltage corresponding to when the node voltage of V2 is equal to V during the power-off process TH5 that is, V PORR >V PORF .

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, the hysteresis of the power-on reset circuit is mainly affected by the magnitude of the current of IPD, that is, affected by V1 = V TH1 and the size of NMOS3; the larger the IPD, the more obvious the hysteresis. Therefore, the IPD should not be too large. If it exceeds the pull-up ability of PM1, V2 will always be pulled down to 0, and RSTN will be locked at 0, resulting in functional failure. When the IPD is within a reasonable range and the size of NMOS3 is increased to increase the hysteresis, it should be ensured that NMOS3 and NMOS4 are adjusted proportionally so that the IPD is always limited by NMOS3 to prevent the current determined by NMOS4 from being too large when VDD is too high, causing V2 to be always pulled low.

[0096] In summary, the power-on reset circuit with hysteresis effect provided by the present application can set the conduction voltages of the NMOS transistors in the pre-circuit, the comparison inverter circuit, and the control circuit, and through the control circuit, during the power-on process, as the power supply voltage gradually increases and the PMOS transistor of the first inverter conducts, the output power supply of the first inverter gradually increases until the output voltage of the first inverter is greater than the conduction voltage of the NMOS transistor of the second inverter, completing the power-on; and during the power-off process, as the power supply voltage gradually decreases, the output voltage of the second inverter gradually increases, and the output voltage of the first inverter gradually decreases until the output voltage of the first inverter is less than the conduction voltage of the NMOS transistor of the second inverter, completing the power-off. The power-on reset circuit with hysteresis effect can realize the hysteresis effect of the power-on reset circuit during the power-on process and the power-off process, and can provide a new research idea for the power-on reset circuit in the field of electronic technology.
