ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a transient voltage detecting circuit for detecting a transient voltage occurring at a power supply or a ground of an electronic system. The circuit according to the invention includes a plurality of detecting units of which the outputs are initially latched by at least one voltage source. The circuit also includes a detecting device outputting a first logic according to the initial outputs of all of the detecting units. When the transient voltage occurs, it is ensured that the logic of the output of one of the detecting units is changed by the transient voltage or the decayed transient voltage, such that the decision device renewably outputs a second logic to trigger a resetting device of the electronic system in accordance with the outputs of all of the detecting units.
