A pF-order capacitor is charged with a proportional-to-absolute-temperature （PTAT） current from a bandgap reference with limited loop bandwidth and slow start-up feature, to generate a reset signal with high robustness and wide-range supply rise time. An embedded brown- out detector based on complementary voltage-to-current （V-to-I） conversion and current comparison can accurately respond to the brown-out event with high robustness over process and temperature when the supply is lower than 1.5 V and the brown-out duration is longer than 0. 1 ms. The presented design with embedded offset voltage cancellation consumes a quiescent current of 8. 5 μA from a 1. 8 V supply and works over ambient temperature of -40° to 120°.展开更多

A new monitoring circuit based on current-comparing method is designed to protect the electronics away from SEL’s damage in radiation environment. The response time of protection circuit has been analyzed. The signal simulation results indicated that the operating time of the SEL protection circuit is dependent on the action time of current comparator and system application recovery time. The function of the monitoring circuit protection device away from SEL’s damage has validated through experiment at last.展开更多

A proposed delay element was adopted for the features of small capacitances and wide power supply rise time range. An inverter was used as a two-inputs logic device to simplify the architecture of the circuit. The technology used for design and simulation is SMIC 0.18 μm RF. Simulation results show that the circuit functions well under different process corners with different power supply rise time, and is able to generate a POR signal after the power supply is briefly powered off. The static power consumption is less than 30 pA. Moreover, the circuit operates properly along with other modules of analog front-end.展开更多
