(5) embodiment
Please referring to Fig. 5, operation principles of the present invention is to utilize an oscillator 31 and frequency detector 32 to cooperate comparator circuit 33 to produce reset signal Reset to have the digital circuit (not shown) of low-work voltage on the chip of resetting.Wherein, the frequency of the oscillator signal ck of oscillator 31 outputs is relevant with the size of transient voltage.So the present invention is during by power initiation, the magnitude variations of transient voltage VDD decides the frequency of the oscillator signal ck of oscillator 31 outputs and then the state of control reset signal Reset.Because its mode of operation of circuit proposed by the invention is not influenced by low-work voltage, so be applicable to the situation of low-work voltage.
Circuit framework of the present invention as shown in Figure 5, this circuit comprises an oscillator 31, frequency detector 32, a voltage source V DD, a comparator circuit 33 and an earth terminal 34.Wherein this oscillator 31 is to comprise one at least three reverser that above odd number is contacted each other 311 and a feedback circuit 312 is electrically connected on the output of last reverser and the input of first reverser.Wherein, each inverter couples with VDD all respectively.This oscillator 31 also can produce an oscillator signal ck.This frequency detector 32 is to be electrically connected on a voltage source V DD and to comprise a current source 321, one first electric capacity 322, one second electric capacity 323, one first switch 324 and a second switch 325.This frequency detector 32 can be exported one first output voltage V according to this oscillator signal ck that this oscillator 31 is produced FDWherein this current source 321 is electrically connected on this voltage source V DD, this first electric capacity 322, comprise output and one second end ground connection 34 that one first end is electrically connected this current source 321, this second electric capacity 323 holds 34 altogether with this first electric capacity 322, this first switch 324 is to be electrically connected first end of this first electric capacity 322 and the other end of this second electric capacity 323, and this second switch 325 is to be connected in parallel with this second electric capacity 323.Wherein this comparator circuit 33 comprises a resitstance voltage divider 331, a comparator 332.Resitstance voltage divider 331 is to be electrically connected on a voltage source V DD, and can be with first resistance 3311 of this resitstance voltage divider 311 and second resistance 3312 producing second an output voltage α VDD who becomes fixed ratio with this voltage source V DD, this comparator 332 is in order to this first output voltage V relatively FDWith this second output voltage α VDD, when this first output voltage V FDDuring greater than this second output voltage α VDD, this comparator 332 produces the reset signal Reset (H) of a high potential; When this first output voltage V FDWhen being less than or equal to this second output voltage α VDD, this comparator 332 produces an electronegative potential reset signal Reset (L).
In this preferred embodiment, when power initiation, voltage source V DD can export transient voltage, and its size is increased in time by 0 beginning.Its frequency of oscillation of oscillator signal ck of this oscillator 31 can rise with transient voltage and increase.And its frequency of oscillation also can reduce along with the number of serial connection inverter in the oscillator 31.Event is by the size of the transient voltage of these inverters of control input, and the number of serial connection inverter, can determine the frequency of oscillation of the oscillator signal ck of oscillator 31 outputs.In frequency detector 32, the switching of its first switch 324 and second switch 325 is to control by oscillator signal ck.And the state of first switch 324 is the opposite states with second switch.Promptly when first switch 324 was connection (ON), second switch 325 was disconnection (OFF), otherwise when first switch 324 was OFF, second switch 325 was ON.Because oscillator signal ck vibrates according to a frequency of oscillation, so the ON/OFF state of first switch 324 and second switch 325 is the switchings that replace for carrying out along with the frequency of oscillation of this oscillator signal ck, and the switching state of first switch 324 and second switch 325 has nothing in common with each other.In the realization of circuit, being equivalent to first switch 324 is to switch according to oscillator signal ck, and first switch 324 then switches according to the inversion signal of oscillator signal ck, as shown in Figure 5.The first/the second electric capacity 322,323 that has a current source 321 and two parallel connections in the frequency detector 32.When the ON/OFF state of first switch 324 and second switch 325 is when carrying out switching alternately along with the frequency of oscillation of this oscillator signal ck, then current source 321 can discharge and recharge the first/the second electric capacity 322,323 respectively according to the ON/OFF state of first switches 324 and second switch 325.When the frequency of oscillation of oscillator signal ck hour, the time that the first/the second electric capacity 322,323 discharges and recharges at every turn is longer, this moment first output voltage V FDSize can be near transient voltage VDD.When the frequency of oscillation of oscillator signal ck was big, the time that the first/the second electric capacity 322,323 discharges and recharges at every turn was shorter, this moment first output voltage V FDCan be less than transient voltage VDD, and reduce along with the increase of the frequency of oscillation of oscillator signal ck.If if a current value of this current source 321 is I in this frequency detector 32, and a capacitance of this first electric capacity 322 is C1, one capacitance of this second electric capacity 323 is C2, and the frequency of oscillation of this oscillator signal ck is fck, then first output voltage V that produced of this frequency detector 32 FDSize be V FD=(I/fck). ((2.C1+C2)/(C1.C2)).
Can learn first output voltage V of this frequency detector 32 by above-mentioned formula FDBe inversely proportional to the frequency of oscillation fCK of frequency of oscillation ck, when the value fck of frequency of oscillation ck is high more, first output voltage V FDWill be low more.
The operation principle of comparator circuit 33 and mode of operation are approximate with known techniques, please refer to the corresponding description of preamble, repeat no more in this.
Be noted that in the present invention, comparator circuit 33 can also be realized by an inverter.Inverter receives this first output voltage V FD, and according to this first output voltage V FDSize decide the position of reset signal of output accurate.When power supply just starts, this first output voltage V FDValue less than the default critical value of inverter, at this moment, inverter is with this first output voltage V FDBe considered as a low level signal, and the reset signal Reset (H) of anti-phase output one high levels.And along with this first output voltage V FDValue increase in time, when this first output voltage V FDValue during greater than the default critical value of inverter, inverter is with this first output voltage V FDBe considered as a high levels signal, and the reset signal Reset (H) of anti-phase output one low level.Compare with aforesaid comparator circuit 33, use the advantage of inverter to be that circuit is simpler, do not need to utilize electric resistance partial pressure to produce second output voltage.But shortcoming is to switch reset signal as comparator circuit 33 accurately.
Among this embodiment, the operation principle of this power initiation reset circuit 3 sees also Fig. 6.Because the oscillator signal ck of oscillator 31 outputs, its frequency of oscillation is relevant with the size of transient voltage VDD.When transient voltage VDD is low, the oscillator signal ck of oscillator 31 outputs, its frequency of oscillation fCK is also lower.By the first above-mentioned output voltage V FDFormula as can be known, first output voltage V FDCan be near VDD, so first output voltage V FDCan be greater than α VDD.When first output voltage V FDDuring greater than α VDD, the output of comparator 332 is reset signal Reset (H) of a high potential (high), and the digital circuit that need be reset on this chip this moment promptly is in replacement (reset) state.And along with transient voltage VDD rises, the frequency of oscillation fck of oscillator signal ck uprises, at this moment, and first output voltage V FDJust can descend gradually.When dropping to when being less than or equal to α Vdd, the output of comparator 332 will become the reset signal Reset (L) of an electronegative potential (go low), and just reset (reset) finishes, and this moment, digital circuit just can be started working.During actual the use, the current source 321 in the above circuit can replace with resistance, and the also available general reverser of comparator 332 replaces, and makes this circuit can be than low-work voltage work, and characteristic still meets demand.
As previously mentioned, the present invention has improved many shortcomings of relevant power initiation reset circuit known techniques.As utilized the mode of resistance capacitance sluggishness (RC delay) in the past, usually need plug-in capacitor just can obtain enough big sluggishness (delay) time, and the mode of utilizing aggressive device (active device) to trigger as the critical voltage of metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS), then be easy to owing to processing procedure difference (process variation) and variations in temperature change the condition that reset signal switches the mistake that causes reset signal to finish or too early finish.The present invention be except can improving many shortcomings of above-mentioned known circuit, and can be in the environment operate as normal of low-work voltage.
