  • Patent number: 10914768
    Abstract: A voltage detector (200) for monitoring an input signal and outputting a detection signal at an output when a voltage of the input signal meets a first threshold having: an input configured for receiving the input signal; a voltage reference circuit for receiving an input voltage and producing a reference voltage having a maximum value independent of the input voltage; and a trigger configured to compare the input signal and the reference voltage and to output a detection signal to the output when the voltage of the input signal reaches the first threshold. The voltage reference circuit comprises a reset input connected to either the input or the output and is configured to reduce the reference voltage when a predetermined reset signal is received.

  • Patent number: 10859610
    Abstract: A voltage detector comprising: a first voltage reference generator for generating a first voltage reference signal; a second voltage reference generator for generating a second voltage reference signal, wherein the second voltage reference signal is higher than the first voltage reference signal; a trigger, powered by an input signal to the voltage detector, and having an input for receiving either the first or second voltage reference signal and an output for generating a detection signal; and a switch for selectively, connecting the input of the trigger to the first or second voltage reference signal, wherein the switch is operative to connect the input of the trigger to the first voltage reference signal when the detection signal output by the voltage detector is low and is operative to connect the input of the trigger to the second voltage reference signal when the detection signal output by the voltage detector is high, and a voltage detector system for monitoring an input signal and outputting a detecti
