Fig. 1 shows a power-on reset circuit commonly used in the related art, which mainly includes a resistor and a capacitor, and charges the capacitor through the resistor and generates a power-on reset signal when the voltage of the capacitor reaches the on-state voltage of the buffer. Another common power-on reset circuit used in the prior art is a circuit structure that employs a complex reference voltage in combination with a comparator, and the comparator compares a power supply voltage with the reference voltage to generate a power-on reset signal. The former has the defects of poor reset precision and low reliability, and the latter has the defects of complex structure and large power consumption.
On the other hand, as shown in fig. 2, the POR trigger voltage of the power-on reset circuit in the prior art is larger than 1.25V, however, as the process advances and the power supply voltage of the system on chip decreases, the POR trigger voltage needs to be small enough to meet the system requirement.
In order to solve the above problem, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a voltage detection circuit and a power-on reset circuit including the voltage detection circuit. First, a voltage detection circuit provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is described below.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of a voltage detection circuit 300 provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the voltage detection circuit 300 is used for detecting a power supply voltage. The voltage detection circuit 300 is connected between a supply voltage 301 and ground 302, and has two output terminals: a first output 310 and a second output 311. The first output terminal 310 and the second output terminal 311 may respectively output respective detection voltages V in response to a circuit power-up procedure, i.e., a power supply voltage rising from 0Vout1And Vout2And is used for generating a power-on reset signal. For example, as described in detail below, the voltage V at the first output terminal 310out1And the voltage V of the second output terminal 311out2Is input to the comparator, generates a power-on reset signal by the comparator, and does not require a reference voltage.
As shown in fig. 3, the voltage detection circuit 300 includes a first branch L connected in parallel between a power supply voltage 301 and a ground 3021And a second branch L2Wherein the first branch L1Comprises a first voltage dividing resistor 303 and a first adjustable resistor 304 connected in series, and a second branch L2Comprising a second voltage dividing resistor 305 and a second adjustable resistor 306 in series.
First branch L1The first voltage dividing resistor 303 is connected in parallel with a first transistor 307 and a third resistor 308 connected in series to form a first parallel circuit P1First parallel circuit P1One terminal is connected to ground 302 and the other terminal is connected to a first output terminal 310 of the voltage detection circuit. Second branch L2Is connected in parallel with a second transistor 309 to form a second parallel circuit P2Second parallel circuit P2One end is connected to ground and the other end is connected to the second output terminal 311 of the voltage detection circuit.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first voltage-dividing resistor 303 and the second voltage-dividing resistor 305 have the same resistance value, and the first adjustable resistor 304 and the second adjustable resistor 306 have the same resistance value. Hereinafter, by adjusting the resistance values of first adjustable resistor 304 and second adjustable resistor 306, the power voltage value when the voltages of first output terminal 310 and second output terminal 311 are equal, that is, the trigger voltage V of the power-on reset circuit can be adjustedTrig。
The purpose of this is to equalize the currents through the first and second voltage-dividing resistors 303 and 305 and also equalize the currents through the first and second tunable resistors 304 and 306 when the output voltages of the first and second output terminals 310 and 311 of the voltage detection circuit 300 are equal, because the current through the first transistor 307 is the difference between the current through the first tunable resistor 304 and the current through the first voltage-dividing resistor 303 and the current through the second transistor 309 is the difference between the current through the second tunable resistor 306 and the current through the second voltage-dividing resistor 305. Therefore, the current through the first transistor 307 can be made equal to the current through the second transistor 309.
In some possible embodiments, the area of the first transistor 307 may be larger than the second transistor, for example, n times the area of the second transistor 309, where n is an integer equal to or larger than 2. In some possible embodiments, the first transistor 307 and the second transistor 309 may be a P-type metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (PMOS transistor) or an N-type metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (NMOS transistor), and may also be a PNP-type transistor or an NPN-type transistor.

FIG. 8 shows an output voltage V of the voltage detection circuit provided by the embodiment of the disclosureout1And Vout2Graph with supply voltage. The operation of the voltage detection circuit provided in this embodiment will be specifically described below with reference to fig. 3 and 8.
First stage, V from originout1And Vout2The phase in which the curves of (a) substantially overlap: in a process (e.g., power-on) in which the power supply voltage gradually rises from 0V, when the power supply voltage is still small, the first transistor 307 and the second transistor 309 are not turned on, and the voltage detection circuitVoltage V of the first output terminal 310out1The voltage V of the second output terminal 311 of the voltage detection circuit is the voltage of the first voltage-dividing resistor 303out2The voltage of the second voltage-dividing resistor 305 is the voltage V at the first output terminal 310 of the stage voltage detection circuit, since the first voltage-dividing resistor 303 and the second voltage-dividing resistor 305 have the same resistance, and the first adjustable resistor 304 and the second adjustable resistor 306 have the same resistanceout1And the voltage V of the second output terminal 311out2Are equal.
A second stage in which V isout1And Vout2In the case of equality, since the first divider resistor 303 and the second divider resistor 305 have equal resistance values, and the first adjustable resistor 304 and the second adjustable resistor 306 have equal resistance values, the currents passing through the first transistor 307 and the second transistor 309 are equal. As the power supply voltage increases, the current through the first transistor 307 and the second transistor 309 becomes larger gradually, and the first transistor 307 and the second transistor 309 are turned on. The first transistor 307 and the second transistor 309 may have different areas in the embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, the area of the first transistor 307 is n times (n is an integer greater than or equal to 2) the area of the second transistor 309, so that the threshold voltage V of the first transistor 307th1Is less than the threshold voltage V of the second transistor 309th2. Furthermore, considering that the power voltage is still relatively small at this stage, the current flowing through the third resistor 308 is relatively small, the voltage drop across the third resistor 308 is negligible, and therefore the voltage V at the first output terminal 310 of the voltage detection circuit is negligibleout1Is the threshold voltage V of the first transistor 307th1Voltage V at the second output terminal 311 of the voltage detection circuitout2Is the threshold voltage V of the second transistor 309th2At Vth1Less than Vth2In the case of (1), the voltage V of the first output terminal 310 of the voltage detection circuitout1Is less than the voltage V of the second output terminal 311out2。
And a third stage: the supply voltage continues to increase and the current through the third resistor 308 gradually increases, the voltage across the third resistor 308 being negligible at this stage. At this time, the voltage V of the first output terminal 310 of the voltage detection circuitout1Is the voltage of the third resistor 308 and the threshold voltage V of the first transistor 307th1Sum, voltage V of second output terminal 311 of the voltage detection circuitout2Is the threshold voltage V of the second transistor 309th2. When the current passing through the third resistor 308 is large to a certain degree, the voltage V at the first output terminal 310 of the voltage detection circuit can be enabledout1And the voltage V of the second output terminal 311out2Equal and then as the supply voltage increases, the voltage V at the first output 310 of the voltage detection circuitout1Will be greater than the voltage V of the second output terminal 311out2。
According to the above description, the voltage detection circuit according to the embodiment of the disclosure is applied to the power-on reset circuit, and the voltage V of the first output terminal 310 of the voltage detection circuit can be utilizedout1And the voltage V of the second output terminal 311out2A power-on reset signal is generated.

As shown in fig. 9, the power-on reset circuit 900 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a voltage detection circuit 901, a comparator 902, a schmitt trigger 903 and a buffer circuit 904, where the voltage detection circuit 901 is used for detecting a power supply voltage and includes a first branch L connected in parallel between ground and the power supply voltage1And a second branch L2First branch L1Comprising a first series-connected voltage-dividing resistor R11And a first adjustable resistance Rad1Second branch L2Comprising a second voltage-dividing resistor R connected in series21And a second adjustable resistance Rad2First divider resistor R11And a second voltage dividing resistor R21Has the same resistance value, and the first adjustable resistor Rad1And a second adjustable resistance Rad2The resistance values of (a) and (b) are the same.

From equation (5), the second transistor MP2Threshold voltage of and the first transistor MP1Difference V of threshold voltages of2-V1Is positively correlated with the temperature, so that the first adjustable resistor R can be adjustedad1And a first divider resistor R11And a first adjustable resistor Rad1And a third resistor R3The proportional relation of the resistance values enables the trigger voltage of the power-on reset circuit to be designed to be irrelevant to the temperature, so that temperature compensation can be achieved, the reset voltage can not deviate along with the temperature under the condition that the power-on reset circuit does not have reference voltage, and high reset precision can be achieved.
In addition, since the second transistor MP is formed in the advanced process2The threshold voltage of the second transistor MP can be as low as about 0.25V, and in the embodiment of the disclosure, the second transistor MP can be used2Is set to 0.25V, in which case by adjusting the first adjustable resistance Rad1Are respectively connected with the first divider resistor R11A third resistor R3The trigger voltage of the power-on reset circuit shown in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be controlled to be about 0.5V, so that the trigger voltage is effectively reduced.
As shown in fig. 10, in the embodiment of the disclosure, after the power-on reset circuit is triggered, the comparator 902 outputs a high-level signal VCompTo the Schmitt trigger 903, the Schmitt trigger 903 responds to the high level signal VCompDe-noising is carried out, and the output waveform change lags behind the high level signal VCompSignal V ofSmt.

Due to the series resistance R13And R23Is short-circuited to make the first adjustable resistor Rad1And a second adjustable resistor Rad2When the power supply voltage changes from high to low, the first branch L of the voltage detection circuit 901 is connected1And a first branch L2When the voltage of the first output terminal of the voltage detection circuit 901 is reduced to a voltage VOut1And a second output terminal voltage VOut2When the voltage drops to be equal again, the trigger voltage of the power-on reset circuit is smaller than that of the power-on reset circuit in the voltage rising process, so a window is generated in the rising and falling processes of the power voltage, and hysteresis is formed. By the hysteresis effect, the power supply voltage can be prevented from shaking to generate misoperation, so that the anti-interference capability of the power-on reset circuit is improved.
