Description of the invention (1) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a power backup circuit of a low-start MOS transistor, and is particularly suitable for setting a low value for low-voltage operation. The initial voltage (threshold voltage) of the MOS transistor is set at a lower power backup circuit of the MOS semiconductor integrated circuit. [Prior art] Most devices made up of CMOS circuits, etc., have an operating mode and a standby mode. The so-called standby mode attempts to become a low power consumption mode by reducing the current flowing into the circuit to zero when not in use. However, in this case, a voltage needs to be applied to the device. For example, when a control microcomputer (personal computer) is connected to the destination device, when the destination device is stopped, the protection of the memory or the control of other circuits causes the microcomputer to be turned on. At this time, if the voltage of the destination device is completely cut off, the output voltage from the microcomputer may flow into the destination device, and there is a danger that the circuit may be damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a voltage when the destination device is on standby. Conventionally, the power control of such an operation mode and a standby mode is realized by switching on / off of the applied bias voltage. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a conventional power backup circuit having a bias switching function. In Figure 1, 31 and 2 are PMOSFETs. The gate of p MOS F D 3 31 is connected to the output of switch 3.

Description of the Invention (2) When the terminal a side is changed, p MOSFET 3 1 is non-conducting, when it is connected to the switching terminal b on the other side ρ Μ〇SF ET 3 1 is on. Also, (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The source of PM〇S F ET 3 1 is connected to the power supply voltage VDD, and the drain is connected to the gate of ρ MOFS F Ε Τ 2. The gate of PM0SFET2 is connected to the bias voltage Vb i a s and at the same time, it is connected to the power supply voltage VDD through pMOSFET3 1. The source of PM0SFET2 is connected to the power supply voltage VDD, and the drain is connected to circuit 4 of the destination device. When PMOSFET2 is turned on, the circuit 4 of the target device is turned on with the power supply voltage VDD. Next, the operation will be explained. In the operating mode, when the switch 3 is connected to the switching terminal a side, ρ MOS F E D 31 31 is non-conducting. As a result, the bias voltage Vb i a s is applied to the gate of PM0SFET2, and a voltage difference is generated between the gate and source of PM0S F ET 2, so PM0SFET2 is turned on. On the other hand, in the standby mode, when the switch 3 is connected to the switching terminal b side, PM0SFET3 1 is turned on. As a result, the gate and source of the PM SF ET 2 are applied with the same power supply voltage VD D by the intellectual property of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Industrial Cooperatives, and the bias voltage V bias applied to ρ ΜSF ET 2 Cut it off. At this time, since the gate-source voltage V g s becomes zero potential, PM0SFET2 is non-conductive. Therefore, in the conventional power backup circuit, the bias is cut off by controlling the gate-source voltage V g s of P MOS F ET 2 to zero potential, so that the p MOS F ET 2 is made non-conductive. In recent years, with the advancement of the miniaturization technology of semiconductor devices, this paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 559858 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (3) M0SFETs such as M0SFET The channel length of the crystal is greatly reduced. As a result, it is necessary to reduce the electric level of the power supply voltage V D D due to the relationship between the withstand voltage and the like. Under the condition of low power supply voltage, in order to maintain the operation speed of the device at a high speed, the initial voltage V t h of the M 0s transistor should be reduced to cope with it. However, simply reducing the initial voltage V t h of the M 0S transistor will cause a problem that the leakage current of the M0S transistor will increase. FIG. 2 is a characteristic diagram showing the relationship between the initial voltage V t h of the MOS transistor and the leakage current I l. In FIG. 2, the horizontal axis is the initial voltage V th (gate-source voltage V gs of the MOS transistor), and the vertical axis is the leakage current IL (the drain current I of the MOS transistor I d). As shown in Fig. 2, when the initial voltage of the M transistor is Vth 1 which is relatively large, no leakage will be generated in the case of the gate-source voltage V gs = 0. Current. However, when the initial voltage of the MOS transistor drops to V th 2, the characteristic tendency of the drain current I d has not changed, and in the case of the bias-off condition of the gate-source voltage V gs = 〇 , Will produce leakage current I k. And the smaller the initial voltage V t h is, the larger the leakage current I L is. When the leakage current I L is generated by a circuit having a plurality of stages, although the leakage current I in one stage is small, the leakage current I in a plurality of stages becomes a large leakage current. The present invention is made to solve this problem. The purpose is to reduce the leakage current when the bias voltage is cut off by using a power supply backup circuit with a low start-up MOS transistor.

In FIG. 3, the same components as those shown in FIG. 1 are assigned the same reference numerals. β ί m I lit I s n ^ l----I-I (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) In Figure 3, 1 is nMOSFET and 2 is pMOSFET. And the initial voltage Vth of nMOSFET1 is larger than pMOSFET2. The gate of η MOS F E T 1 is connected to the output of switch 3. One side of the switch 3 is connected to the power supply voltage V D D, and the other side of the switching terminal b is grounded. Therefore, when the switch 3 is connected to the switching terminal a on one side, η MOS F E T 1 is conductive, and when the switch 3 is connected to the switching terminal b on the other side, η MOS F E T 1 is non-conductive. The source of η M 0 S F E T 1 is grounded, and the drain is connected to circuit 4 of the destination device. The gate of P MOS F ET 2 is connected to the bias voltage V b i a s, the source is connected to the power supply voltage V D D, and the drain is connected to the destination device. As such, in the embodiment of the present invention, the gate of p MOS F E T 2 often applies a bias voltage Vb i a s. The cut off of the bias voltage is not achieved by the intellectual property of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of pMOSFET2 ^ employee consumption cooperation ^ the gate-source voltage V gs is zero potential to achieve, but the drain current I d is zero The potential is achieved. Next, the operation will be described. When the switch 3 is connected to the switching terminal a side in the operation mode, n MOS F E T 1 is turned on. At this time, a bias voltage V b i a s is applied to the gate of the P MOS F E T 2, and a voltage difference occurs between the gate and the source of the P MOS F E T 2, so that the P MOS F ET 2 is turned on. As a result, the self-power voltage VDD reaches the ground via P MOSSF ET 2, circuit 4, and η MOSSF ET 1 ^: Rule ^ Applicable to the Chinese National Standard ((^ 5) 8 4 specifications (210 '/ 297 (Gongchu) ^ 559858 A7 __ B7 5. The path of the invention description (7) is conductive. In addition, in the standby mode, when the switch 3 is connected to the switching terminal b side, ηMOSFET 1 is non-conductive. At this time Although pM0SF ET2 is on, the path from power supply voltage VDD through PM0SFET2, circuit 4, and nMOSFET1 to ground is non-conductive, causing the drain current Id to be zero potential. Therefore, the bias Vb ias of PM0SFET2 is applied It has been substantially cut as described above. According to this embodiment, the drain current I d is set to zero potential to realize the cut-off bias, and the gate-source voltage V gs of p MOSFET 2 is often non-zero potential. Therefore, leakage current can be suppressed when the bias is cut off (refer to FIG. 2). In addition, the nMOSFETl of the switching element required to cause the drain current Id to be at zero potential has less leakage current than PM0SFET2, so the leakage can be reduced even more. Generation of electric current. Fig. 4 shows the low starting 値 Μ 0 S of this embodiment. A diagram showing another configuration example of the power supply backup circuit of the crystal. In FIG. 4, the same components as those shown in FIG. 3 are given the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted. In the structure shown in FIG. 3, nM0SF ET 1 Connected between circuit 4 and ground. At this time, a potential difference of 8 ¥ occurs between circuit 4 and ground.
