[0029] The above-mentioned low-power power-on reset circuit 100 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 low voltage caused by power supply fluctuations. Compared with the prior art, the low-power characteristics of CMOS transistors are utilized to significantly reduce the overall power consumption of the power-on reset circuit. Through precise voltage detection and delay control, the stability of the circuit reset is ensured. The optimized voltage detection module 11 improves the circuit's response speed to power supply changes. The circuit design is simple and easily compatible with existing integrated circuit processes.

[0032] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the low-power 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, Indicates the width-to-length ratio of the NM1 tube, kis the proportional coefficient), resistors R0, R1, and R2, and startup load capacitor PM2. Resistors R0, R1, and R2 form a voltage divider network to provide a variable voltage divider. Current mirror 111 consists of two PMOS transistors (PM0 and PM1). The quantized delay module includes two Schmitt triggers (ST) and an intermediate delay circuit.
[0033] The circuit operating principle of the low-power power-on reset circuit 100 may be as follows:
[0034] When the power supply voltage VDD starts to rise from 0, when the power supply voltage VDD is relatively low, the PMOS and NMOS transistors cannot be fully turned on. At this time, the source voltage of the PM1 transistor follows the power supply voltage VDD due to the charging of the startup load capacitor PM2. This ensures that the entire circuit remains in the output reset state when the power supply voltage VDD is relatively low.
[0035] As the power supply voltage VDD increases, both PM0 and NM0 transistors are turned on and the current flowing through branch 1 I Also increases and satisfies the following formula:
[0036] (1)
[0037] in, , , Indicates the threshold voltage of the PMOS tube, Indicates 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, represents 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.
[0038] The gate voltage of NM1 tube is:
[0039] (2)
[0040] Among them, when the NM2 tube is turned on, the voltage divider resistance value ; When NM2 tube is closed, the voltage divider resistance value .
[0041] Because the current mirror 111 composed of PM0 and PM1 tubes makes the current of branch 1 and branch 2I Keeping them equal, in order to make NM1 work in the saturation region, the gate voltage required by NM1 is:
[0042] (3)
[0043] When the current is relatively small and Sometimes, there are 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.
[0044] when Sometimes, there are 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.
[0045] when Sometimes, there are 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.
[0046] 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.
[0047] 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 generates tens of (microseconds) delay, and when the power supply voltage VDD is relatively low, Figure 1 When point C in the circuit outputs a high level, resistor R2 is short-circuited. At this point, a higher power supply voltage VDD is required to flip the output of voltage detection module 11. Meanwhile, when power supply voltage VDD is relatively high and point C outputs a low level, resistor R2 is connected to branch 1. At this point, a lower power supply voltage is required to flip the output of voltage detection module 11. Therefore, the output of voltage detection module 11 achieves a hysteresis voltage effect.
[0048] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, another low-power power-on reset circuit 200 is also provided, comprising a voltage detection module 11 and a quantized delay module. The quantized delay module includes an intermediate delay unit 13 and a two-stage Schmitt trigger. The two input terminals of the two-stage Schmitt trigger are respectively connected to a first power supply voltage and a second power supply voltage. The output terminal of the first-stage Schmitt trigger 15 is connected to the first control terminal of the intermediate delay unit 13. The output terminal of the intermediate delay unit 13 is connected to the control terminal of the second-stage Schmitt trigger 17. The output terminal of the second-stage Schmitt trigger 17 is used to provide a stable reset signal.
[0049] The voltage detection module 11 includes a current mirror 111, an NMOS transistor pair 113 with a proportional aspect ratio, a voltage divider resistor unit 115, and a startup load capacitor PM2. The input of the current mirror 111 is connected to a first power supply voltage, the output of the current mirror 111 is connected to the input of the NMOS transistor pair 113, and the control terminal of the current mirror 111 is connected to the second control terminal of the intermediate delay unit 13. The output of the NMOS transistor pair 113 is grounded via the voltage divider resistor unit 115. The gate of the startup load capacitor PM2 is connected to the output of the current mirror 111 and the control terminal of the first-stage Schmitt trigger 15, respectively. The source of the startup load capacitor PM2 is connected to the first power supply voltage, and the drain of the startup load capacitor PM2 is connected to the input of the intermediate delay unit 13. The voltage divider resistor unit 115 is used to provide a divided voltage for the voltage detection module 11. The quantized delay module is used to perform digital logic conversion based on the output of the voltage detection module 11. The intermediate delay unit 13 is used to generate a microsecond delay by charging a capacitor.
[0050] It is understandable that Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides another Figure 1 The circuit shown is a variant design for low power supply voltage, in which resistor R0 is used to provide voltage division. The operating principle of the low-power power-on reset circuit 200 in this embodiment can be understood similarly to the operating principle of the low-power power-on reset circuit 100 in the above embodiment, with the only difference being that variable voltage division is achieved by connecting or disconnecting resistor R0, which will not be repeated here.
