[0002] With the rapid development of emerging applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT), wearable electronics, and electric vehicles, the demand for efficient energy management solutions in battery-powered systems has become more urgent than ever. As a core component for extending device battery life and optimizing energy efficiency, the design of a low-power battery management system requires a balance between key performance indicators such as static power consumption, dynamic response speed, and system reliability. In this technological context, the system's wake-up reception mechanism plays a crucial role, as its performance directly determines the energy efficiency and response time of the device's transition from deep sleep mode to active operation.

In the following, Vthn is the threshold voltage of the NMOS transistor, and Vthp is the threshold voltage of the PMOS transistor.
[0029] According to one embodiment, the wake-up circuit may further include a Schmitt trigger ST100 whose input terminal is electrically connected to the drain electrode of the PMOS transistor MP100 in the super-cutoff stack structure 100 and the first end of the resistor R100. The second end of the resistor R100 receives a ground potential. According to one embodiment, the wake-up circuit also includes an inverter INV100 whose input terminal is electrically connected to the output end of the Schmitt trigger ST100. According to one embodiment, the resistor R100 can be flexibly configured as a passive resistor or an active current source, which has high circuit compatibility. In the resistor solution, since a bias circuit is not required, power consumption is further reduced.
[0030] According to one embodiment, the wake-up circuit using the resistor R100 in the above solution can operate under low power supply voltage conditions. In traditional circuits, a bias circuit is required to operate normally, and the bias circuit consumes a certain amount of power.
[0031] The transistor MP100 and the transistor MN100 in the super-cutoff stack structure 100 have equal current characteristics in the sub-threshold operating region, as shown in the following formula (1):
[0032] Where I0 is a constant related to the process (such as the transistor width-to-length ratio W / L), V th represents the transistor threshold voltage, n is the subthreshold slope factor (assuming that n is equal for each transistor), and kT / q is the thermal voltage. 0,n = I 0,p = I0, and considering Vthn ≈ |Vthp| ≈ V th When the voltage V x will be equal to (VGN + VGP) / 2, and the resulting current I is given by the following formula (2):
[0033] From formula (2), it can be obtained that the super-cutoff stack structure 100 is equivalent to a gate-source voltage of V GS = (VGN-VGP) / 2, where VGN is the gate input voltage of transistor MN100 and VGP is the gate input voltage of transistor MP100.
[0034] According to the above formula (2), the super cutoff stack structure 100 is equivalent to a threshold voltage of V th transistors.
[0035] According to one embodiment, when the two signals at the input end of the super cutoff stack structure 100 are common mode signals, V GS =(VGN-VGP) / 2 is equal to 0 and must be less than V th , the super-cutoff stack structure 100 is in a super-cutoff state, that is, the voltage of the SEN_N100 node is 0.
[0036] According to one embodiment, when the two signals at the input end of the super cutoff stack structure 100 are differential signals, and the input differential voltage of the two signals at the input end is less than Vthn+|Vthp| (equivalent to V GS Less than V th ), the super cutoff stack structure 100 is still in the cutoff state.
[0037] According to one embodiment, when the two signals at the input end of the super cutoff stack structure 100 are differential signals and the input differential voltage is greater than or equal to Vthn+|Vthp| (equivalent to V GS Greater than or equal to V th ), the super-cutoff stack structure is turned on, and as the differential voltage continues to increase, the voltage of the node SEN_N100 rises from the ground potential.
[0038] In the present application, since the transistor exhibits a strictly matched exponential current-voltage transfer characteristic in the subthreshold operating region, the super-cutoff stack structure 100 operates in a super-cutoff state. Without any bias voltage conditions exceeding the power supply rail (voltage source), a super-cutoff state leakage current far lower than the leakage current level of a conventional transistor can be achieved, thereby reducing the power consumption of the circuit when operating in a static state.
[0039] According to one embodiment, the value of resistor R100 is related to the frequency of the differential signal input to the two input terminals of the super-cutoff stack structure 100. The lower the frequency, the larger the value of resistor R100, and the corresponding source-drain current is also smaller, thereby reducing the dynamic power consumption of the above-mentioned sensor circuit. For example, when the input differential signal frequency is 2 MHz, the value of resistor R100 can be 600 kΩ to 1.2 MΩ.
[0040] If the voltage at node SEN_N100 is directly input to the inverter, the voltage will slowly rise or fall, which will result in high power consumption when the inverter flips. Therefore, according to one embodiment, the voltage at node SEN_N100 can be provided to the Schmitt trigger ST100, and then output through the series inverter INV100, further reducing the dynamic power consumption of the wake-up circuit.
[0041] According to one embodiment, the solution of the present application adopts a new type of Schmitt trigger, which can further save power consumption compared with the traditional Schmitt trigger.
[0042] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a wake-up circuit according to another embodiment of the present application.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment, the circuit includes a super cutoff stack structure 200 and a resistor R200 connected in series.
[0044] According to one embodiment, the super-cutoff stack structure 200 includes an NMOS transistor MN200 and a PMOS transistor MP200, which are electrically connected in series, wherein the drain electrode of the NMOS transistor MN200 is electrically connected to the first end of the resistor R200, and the source electrode is electrically connected to the source electrode of the PMOS transistor MP200, the gate electrode of the transistor MN200 serves as the input terminal of the signal VGN, and the gate electrode of the transistor MP200 serves as the input terminal of the signal VGP.
[0045] According to one embodiment, the wake-up circuit may further include a Schmitt trigger ST200 having an input end electrically connected to the drain electrode of the NMOS transistor MN200 in the super-cutoff stack structure 200 and a first end of the resistor R200. The second end of the resistor R200 receives a power supply voltage VDD. According to one embodiment, the wake-up circuit also includes an inverter INV200 having an input end electrically connected to the output end of the Schmitt trigger ST200. According to one embodiment, the resistor R200 can be flexibly configured as a passive resistor or an active current source, which has high circuit compatibility. In the resistor solution, since a bias circuit is not required, power consumption is further reduced.
[0046] According to one embodiment, the wake-up circuit using resistor R200 in the above solution can operate under low power supply voltage conditions. In traditional circuits, a bias circuit needs to be set to work properly, and the bias circuit consumes a certain amount of power. From the above formulas (1) and (2), it can also be obtained that the super-cutoff stack structure 200 is equivalent to a threshold voltage of V th transistors.
[0047] According to one embodiment, when the two signals at the input end of the super cutoff stack structure 200 are common mode signals, V GS =(VGN-VGP) / 2 is equal to 0 and must be less than V th , the super cutoff stack structure 200 is in a super cutoff state, that is, the voltage of the SEN_P200 node is VDD.
[0048] According to one embodiment, when the two signals at the input end of the super cutoff stack structure 200 are differential signals, and the input differential voltage of the two signals at the input end is less than Vthn+|Vthp| (equivalent to V GS Less than V th ), the super cutoff stack structure 200 is still in the cutoff state.
[0049] According to one embodiment, when the two signals at the input end of the super cutoff stack structure 200 are differential signals and the input differential voltage is greater than or equal to Vthn+|Vthp| (equivalent to V GS Greater than or equal to V th ), the super-cutoff stack structure is turned on, and as the differential voltage continues to increase, the voltage of the node SEN_P200 drops from the power supply voltage VDD.
[0050] In the present application, since the transistor exhibits a strictly matched exponential current-voltage transfer characteristic in the subthreshold operating region, the super-cutoff stack structure 200 operates in a super-cutoff state. Without any bias voltage conditions exceeding the power supply rail (voltage source), a super-cutoff state leakage current far lower than the leakage current level of a conventional transistor can be achieved, thereby reducing the power consumption of the circuit when operating in a static state.
[0051] According to one embodiment, the value of resistor R200 is related to the frequency of the differential signal input to the two input terminals of the super-cutoff stack structure 200. The lower the frequency, the larger the value of resistor R200, and the corresponding source-drain current is also smaller, thereby reducing the dynamic power consumption of the above-mentioned sensor circuit. For example, when the input differential signal frequency is 2 MHz, the value of resistor R200 can be 600 kΩ to 1.2 MΩ.
[0052] If the voltage at node SEN_P200 is directly input to the inverter, the voltage will slowly rise or fall, resulting in high power consumption when the inverter flips. Therefore, according to one embodiment, the voltage at node SEN_P200 can be provided to a Schmitt trigger ST200, which is then output through the series-connected inverter INV200, further reducing the dynamic power consumption of the wake-up circuit.
[0053] According to one embodiment, the solution of the present application adopts a new type of Schmitt trigger, which can further save power consumption compared with the traditional Schmitt trigger.
[0054] Use Figure 1 and Figure 2 The wake-up circuit of the super-cutoff stack structure shown does not require the clock requirement of the traditional wake-up circuit, which not only reduces power consumption but also makes the wake-up function simple to implement. It only needs to meet the requirement that the input differential mode signal is greater than the turn-on threshold of the super-cutoff stack structure.
[0055] Figure 3 and Figure 4 Shown is a Schmitt trigger circuit diagram according to one embodiment of the present application.
[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment, the gate electrodes of transistors P11, P12, and N11 are electrically connected and receive an input signal IN1, the source electrode of transistor P11 receives a power supply voltage VDD, the source electrode of transistor N11 receives a ground potential, the drain electrode of transistor P11 is electrically connected to the source electrode of transistor P12, the drain electrode of transistor P12 is electrically connected to the drain electrode of transistor N11, the drain electrode of transistor P13 receives a ground potential, and its source electrode is electrically connected to the drain electrode of transistor P11, the gate electrode of transistor P13 is electrically connected to a node NV11 between the drain electrode of transistor P12 and the drain electrode of transistor N11, and outputs a signal OUT3 as an output terminal.
[0057] According to one embodiment, the width-to-length ratio W / L of transistor P11 can be 1 μm for width and 16 μm for length. According to one embodiment, the width of transistors P12 and P13 can be 2 μm for width and 4 μm-6 μm for length. According to one embodiment, the width-to-length ratio W / L of transistor N11 can be 8 μm for width and 0.6 μm for length. In other words, the width-to-length ratio of transistor N11 is much larger than the width-to-length ratios of other transistors in the Schmitt trigger of this embodiment.
[0058] According to one embodiment, when the input signal IN1 of the Schmitt trigger rises, the potential of the node NV11 and the output signal OUT3 are pulled down to the ground potential due to the large width-to-length ratio W / L of the transistor N11 and the fast turn-on speed; at this time, the transistor P13 is turned on, and the potential of the node NV12 between the transistor P11 and the transistor P12 is also pulled down to the ground potential; the source and drain potentials of the transistor P12 are both at the ground potential, so no current flows through the transistor P12, and the output signal OUT3 is controlled only by branch 1.
[0059] According to one embodiment, to prevent false triggering due to glitches or jitter during the rising phase of input signal IN1, which could affect the output of OUT3, branch 2 provides a hysteresis window, directing the current generated by the false trigger signal to ground through transistors P11 and P13. Transistor P11 has a small aspect ratio, resulting in a smaller current flowing through branch 2, thereby reducing power consumption. Compared to a traditional Schmitt trigger, the input signal does not need to meet a high threshold to reverse the voltage through branch 1. This is because transistor N11 in this embodiment of the Schmitt trigger has a large aspect ratio, low on-resistance, and a low on-threshold, thereby reducing dynamic power consumption.
[0060] like Figure 4As shown, according to one embodiment, the gate electrodes of transistor P21, transistor N21 and transistor N22 are electrically connected and receive the input signal IN2, the source electrode of transistor P21 receives the power supply voltage VDD, the source electrode of transistor N22 receives the ground potential, the drain electrode of transistor P21 is electrically connected to the drain electrode of transistor N21, the source electrode of transistor N21 is electrically connected to the drain electrode of transistor N22, the drain electrode of transistor N23 receives the power supply voltage VDD, the source electrode of transistor N23 is electrically connected to the drain electrode of transistor N22, the gate electrode of transistor N23 is electrically connected to the node NV22 between the drain electrode of transistor P21 and the drain electrode of transistor N21, and outputs the signal OUT4 as the output terminal.
[0061] According to one embodiment, the width-to-length ratio W / L of transistor N22 can be 1 μm for width and 16 μm for length. According to one embodiment, the width of transistor N21 and transistor N23 can be 2 μm for width and 4 μm-6 μm for length. According to one embodiment, the width-to-length ratio W / L of transistor P21 can be 8 μm for width and 0.6 μm for length. In other words, the width-to-length ratio of transistor P21 is much larger than the width-to-length ratios of other transistors in the Schmitt trigger of this embodiment.
[0062] According to one embodiment, when the input signal IN2 of the Schmitt trigger drops, since the transistor P21 has a large width-to-length ratio W / L and opens quickly, the potential of the node NV22 and the output signal OUT4 are pulled to a high potential; at this time, the transistor N23 is turned on, and the potential of the node NV21 between the transistor N21 and the transistor N22 is also pulled to a high potential; the source and drain potentials of the transistor N21 are both high potentials, so no current flows through the transistor N21, and the output signal OUT4 is only controlled by branch 4.
[0063] According to one embodiment, to prevent false triggering due to glitches or jitter during the falling edge of input signal IN2, which could affect the output of OUT4, branch 3 provides a hysteresis window, directing the current generated by the false trigger signal to ground through transistors N22 and N23. Transistor N22 has a small aspect ratio, resulting in a smaller current flowing through branch 3, thereby reducing power consumption. Compared to a traditional Schmitt trigger, the input signal does not need to meet a lower threshold to invert the voltage through branch 4. This is because transistor P21 in this embodiment of the Schmitt trigger has a large aspect ratio, low on-resistance, and a low on-threshold, thereby reducing dynamic power consumption.
[0064] Figure 5 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a wake-up circuit according to another embodiment of the present application.
[0065] Since the signals at the two input ends of the super-cutoff stack structure start from common-mode signals, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the common mode signal affects the potential V of the electrical connection point X in the two wake-up circuits. X .
[0066] According to one embodiment, turning on the Schmitt trigger ST100 requires that the voltage at the node SEN_N100 rise to a sufficiently high level. When the received common-mode signal is relatively low, the super-cutoff stack structure does not have enough differential voltage to fully turn on, resulting in the voltage at the node SEN_N100 being too low to trigger the Schmitt trigger ST100. For example, when the common-mode signal is lower than (Vthn + |Vthp|) / 2, at a power supply voltage of 1.2V, the input differential voltage cannot fully turn on the super-cutoff stack structure, and the voltage at the node SEN_N100 cannot effectively rise. Figure 1 When the wake-up circuit shown is working, the super-cutoff stack structure requires a higher common-mode voltage, for example, higher than (Vthn+|Vthp|) / 2. According to one embodiment, turning on the Schmitt trigger ST200 requires the voltage at the node SEN_P200 to drop sufficiently low. When the common-mode signal is relatively high, for example, the common-mode signal is higher than VDD-(Vthn+|Vthp|) / 2, the super-cutoff stack structure does not have enough differential voltage to fully open, resulting in the voltage at the node SEN_P200 not being able to effectively drop. Figure 2 When the wake-up device shown in the figure works, a lower common-mode voltage is required to be input to the signal input terminal.
[0067] In order to ensure that the wake-up circuit can still work normally when the input signals of the two input ends of the super-cutoff stack structure are low common mode or high common mode, the present application provides the following Figure 5 The wake-up circuit shown will Figure 1 and Figure 2 The wake-up circuit shown in the figure can make the input common-mode signal range unlimited, that is, realize the rail-to-rail input signal.

According to one embodiment, resistors R1 and R2 have equal resistance values. According to one embodiment, resistors R1 and R2 can be flexibly configured as passive resistors or active current sources.
[0072] According to one embodiment, the output end of the Schmitt trigger ST2 can be electrically connected to the input end of the inverter INV1. The output end of the inverter INV1 and the output end of the Schmitt trigger ST1 are two input ends of the NAND gate NAND1. The output of the NAND gate NAND1 is the signal OUT5 output end of the entire circuit.
[0073] According to one embodiment, when the differential input signal satisfies Vthn+|Vthp|, Figure 5 The wake-up circuit shown can achieve rail-to-rail input, wherein the two branches of the NAND gate input signal can reinforce each other, one for low common mode and the other for high common mode.
[0074] According to one embodiment, when the power supply voltage is 1.2V, the power consumption when the input differential voltage value is zero is only 132pW. Even when the input differential voltage is the power supply voltage of 1.2V, the power consumption is only 410nW. At a communication frequency of 2MHz, the energy efficiency is 0.103pJ / Hz.
[0075] Figure 6 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a wake-up circuit according to another embodiment of the present application.
[0076] According to one embodiment, the drain electrode of the PMOS transistor MP3 in the super cutoff stack structure 601 is electrically connected to the first end of the resistor R3 and the input end of the Schmitt trigger ST3, the intersection voltage is the voltage of the node SEN_N2, and the drain electrode of the NMOS transistor MN3 receives the voltage source VDD. According to one embodiment, the Schmitt trigger ST3 can be as follows Figure 3 The Schmitt trigger shown.
[0077] According to one embodiment, the drain electrode of the NMOS transistor MN4 in the super cutoff stack structure 602 is electrically connected to the first end of the resistor R4 and the input end of the Schmitt trigger ST4, the intersection voltage is the voltage of the node SEN_P2, and the drain electrode of the PMOS transistor MP4 receives the ground potential. According to one embodiment, the Schmitt trigger ST4 can be as follows Figure 4 The Schmitt trigger shown.
[0078] According to one embodiment, the gates of the two super-cutoff stacked NMOS transistors MN3 and MN4 are electrically connected to receive the signal VGN, and the gates of the PMOS transistors MP3 and MP4 are electrically connected to receive the signal VGP.
[0079] According to one embodiment, a second terminal of resistor R3 receives ground potential, and a second terminal of resistor R4 receives voltage source VDD. According to one embodiment, resistors R3 and R4 have equal resistance values. According to one embodiment, resistors R3 and R4 can be flexibly configured as passive resistors or active current sources.
[0080] According to one embodiment, the output of the Schmitt trigger ST3 can be electrically connected to the input of the inverter INV2. The output of the inverter INV2 and the output of the Schmitt trigger ST4 are two inputs of the OR gate OR1. The output of the OR gate OR1 is the signal OUT6 output of the entire circuit.
[0081] According to one embodiment, when the differential input signal satisfies Vthn+|Vthp|, Figure 6 The wake-up circuit shown can achieve rail-to-rail input, wherein the two branches of the OR gate input signal can reinforce each other, one for low common mode and the other for high common mode.
[0082] According to one embodiment, when the power supply voltage is 1.2V, the power consumption when the input differential voltage value is zero is only 132pW. Even when the input differential voltage is the power supply voltage of 1.2V, the power consumption is only 410nW. At a communication frequency of 2MHz, the energy efficiency is 0.103pJ / Hz.
[0083] Use Figure 5 and Figure 6 The double-sided rail-to-rail wake-up circuit shown does not need to consider the level of the common-mode signal in the input signal. As long as the differential-mode signal meets the conduction threshold condition of the super-cutoff stack structure, the wake-up function of the subsequent circuit can be realized.
[0084] However, when waking up the subsequent circuit, due to the interference in the environment, the following Figure 5 or Figure 6 The wake-up circuit shown may result in inaccurate output signals, so two Figure 5 and / or Figure 6The wake-up circuit shown determines whether to wake up the subsequent circuit by the synchronization status of the outputs of the two wake-up circuits.
[0085] Figure 7-10 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a wake-up circuit according to another embodiment of the present application.
[0086] like Figure 7 The wake-up circuit shown adopts two wake-up units, and the input signals of the two wake-up units are opposite. According to one embodiment, the gates of the transistors MN11 and MN12 in the wake-up unit A1 and the gates of the transistors MP21 and MP22 in the wake-up unit A2 are electrically connected as the differential signal VGN input terminal, and the gates of the transistors MP11 and MP12 in the wake-up unit A1 and the gates of the transistors MN21 and MN22 in the wake-up unit A2 are electrically connected as the differential signal VGP input terminal. The wake-up unit has a fast rising response under the action of the voltage source VDD, but in the falling response, it cannot respond quickly due to the limitation of the resistance value. The long falling delay time limits its application in receiving fast signals, so that when the two wake-up units are communicating at high speed at the same time, the output signals OUT71 and OUT72 may be erroneously output as high levels. In order to achieve a fast and symmetrical response of the input signal in a high-frequency state and solve the problem of asymmetric rise and fall times, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the fast rising edge of the output signal OUT71 of the wake-up unit A1 and the output signal OUT72 of the wake-up unit A2 is used to feed back the other circuit of the two circuits to achieve the above-mentioned effect.

[0106] Figure 11 An example of an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 7 The working sequence diagram of the wake-up circuit in FIG. Figure 11 As shown, according to one embodiment, during the t0-t1 phase, the input signals VGN and VGP are initially in common mode. As the differential mode signal gradually increases to a threshold voltage satisfying VGN-VGP greater than or equal to Vthn+|Vthp|, the super-cutoff stack structures 701 and 702 in the wake-up unit A1 are turned on, the voltage of the node SEN_N1 gradually increases, and after passing through the Schmitt trigger ST11, a low potential signal is output; the voltage of the node SEN_N2 gradually decreases, and after passing through the Schmitt trigger ST12 and the inverter INV712, a low potential signal is output. The output signals of the Schmitt trigger ST11 and the inverter INV712 pass through the NAND gate NAND2, and the output signal OUT71 rises from a low potential to a high potential. The node FPP in the wake-up unit A2 transmits a short rising pulse voltage through the capacitor.
[0107] According to one embodiment, during the t1-t2 phase, as the differential mode voltage VGN-VGP of the input signals VGN and VGP decreases, the differential mode voltage VGP-VGN increases, the voltage of the node SEN_N1 gradually decreases, and the voltage of the node SEN_N2 gradually increases. However, since the resistors R11 and R12 are large resistance devices, the voltage of the node SEN_N1 decreases very slowly, and the voltage of the node SEN_N2 increases very slowly. When the differential mode of the input signals VGN and VGP decreases to satisfy VGP-VGN greater than or equal to Vthn+|Vthp|, the super cutoff stacks 703 and 704 in the wake-up unit A2 are turned on, the voltage of the node SEN_N3 gradually increases, and a low potential signal is output after passing through the Schmitt trigger ST21; the voltage of the node SEN_N4 gradually decreases, and a low potential signal is output after passing through the Schmitt trigger ST22 and the inverter INV722. The output signal of the Schmitt trigger ST21 and the inverter INV722 passes through the NAND Gate NAND3, the output signal OUT72 changes from a low potential to a high potential. Due to the AC-passing and DC-blocking characteristics of capacitor C12, and resistor R13, the AC signal transmitted by the capacitor can be briefly maintained, that is, a short rising pulse voltage of node FNP. Transistor MN13 is instantly turned on, causing the voltage at node SEN_N1 to be quickly reduced to a low potential. After passing through the Schmitt trigger ST11, a high potential signal is output. At the same time, under the combined action of inverter INV11, capacitor C11 and resistor R14, transistor MP13 is quickly turned on, and the voltage at node SEN_N2 is quickly pulled up to a high potential. After passing through the Schmitt trigger ST12 and inverter INV712, a high potential signal is output. After the output signals of Schmitt trigger ST11 and inverter INV712 pass through the NAND gate NAND2, the output signal OUT71 quickly changes to a low potential.
[0108] According to one embodiment, during the t2-t3 phase, the differential-mode signal VGP-VGN of the input signals VGN and VGP gradually decreases, the voltage at node SEN_N3 gradually decreases, and the voltage at node SEN_N4 gradually increases. However, because resistors R21 and R22 are large-resistance devices, the voltage at node SEN_N3 decreases very slowly, and the voltage at node SEN_N4 increases very slowly. When the differential-mode signal VGN-VGP is greater than or equal to the threshold voltage Vthn+|Vthp|, the super-cutoff stack structures 701 and 702 in the wake-up unit A1 are turned on, the voltage at node SEN_N1 gradually increases, and after passing through the Schmitt trigger ST11, a low-level signal is output; the voltage at node SEN_N2 gradually decreases, and after passing through the Schmitt trigger ST12 and inverter INV712, a low-level signal is output. The output signals of the Schmitt trigger ST11 and inverter INV712 pass through the NAND gate NAND2, and the output signal OUT71 changes from a low level to a high level. At this time, node FPP transmits a short circuit through the capacitor. Due to the short-term rising pulse voltage, the transistor MN23 is turned on instantaneously, so that the voltage of the node SEN_N3 is quickly reduced to a low potential, and a high potential signal is output through the Schmitt trigger ST21. At the same time, under the joint action of the inverter INV21, the capacitor C21 and the resistor R24, the transistor MP23 is turned on quickly, and the voltage of the node SEN_N4 is quickly pulled up to a high potential, and a high potential signal is output through the Schmitt trigger ST22 and the inverter INV722. After the output signals of the Schmitt trigger ST21 and the inverter INV722 pass through the NAND gate NAND3, the output signal OUT72 quickly changes to a low potential.
[0109] Figure 7-10 As shown, the fast rising / falling edge of the output of one wake-up branch is used to reset the slow falling / rising edge of another wake-up branch, so that symmetrical hysteresis and fast response can be achieved.
[0110] The present application also proposes an electronic device comprising the above-mentioned wake-up circuit.
[0111] The wake-up circuit of the present application is a super-cutoff stacking structure constructed by connecting PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors in series. When the system is in sleep mode, that is, static, the super-cutoff stacking structure works in the super-cutoff state. Since the wake-up circuit of the present application is threshold triggered instead of periodic detection, there is no need to use a clock signal, which greatly reduces the static power consumption of the wake-up circuit; by improving the traditional Schmitt trigger and utilizing different forms of combinations of super-cutoff stacking structures and resistors in the circuit, two forms of wake-up sub-units are constructed, and the wake-up sub-units are combined, and their output ends are respectively realized through output units to output rail-to-rail wake-up circuits, and by combining the outputs of the above two rail-to-rail wake-up circuits in a circuit with mutual feedback, on the one hand, the working efficiency of the wake-up circuit is improved, and on the other hand, the dynamic power consumption of the wake-up circuit is reduced.
