ABSTRACT:
A power-on detect circuit includes: a resistor divider having a first node, a second node coupled to ground, and a center tap; a bandgap circuit for providing a reference voltage; a differential amplifier having a first input for receiving the reference voltage, a second input coupled to the center tap of the bandgap reference voltage circuit, and an output for providing a power-on detect signal; and a suppression circuit for coupling the first node of the resistor divider to a source of supply voltage once the reference voltage substantially achieves a stable reference voltage level. The suppression circuit has an input for receiving a trigger voltage generated in the bandgap circuit, and an output coupled to the first node of the resistor divider. The suppression circuit includes: an input section having an input for receiving the trigger voltage, and an output; a switch coupled between the source of supply voltage and the first node of the resistor divider having a control node coupled to the output of the input section; and a capacitor coupled to the control node of the switch. Both the switch and the bandgap circuit are responsive to the power-on detect signal for further reducing power consumption.
