  • Patent number: 11199565
    Abstract: An undervoltage detection circuit includes a voltage divider, a voltage-to-current (V-to-I) converter and a current comparator. The voltage divider divides a supply voltage to generate a divided voltage. The V-to-I converter converts the divided voltage into a first current based on a first V-to-I transfer function, and converts the divided voltage into a second current based on a second V-to-I transfer function different from the first V-to-I transfer function. The current comparator compares the first and second currents to generate a comparison signal that indicates whether the supply voltage is sufficiently large.
