Abstract: A control method executing a power-off detection operation is provided. An operation voltage provided by a power circuit is detected. In response to the operation voltage being equal to the first detection value, the count value is adjusted. In response to the operation voltage being equal to the second detection value, the first detection value, the second detection value, and the count value are calculated to generate a first slope. A first power-off speed at which the operation voltage drops to the reset voltage is estimated according to the first slope. In a test mode, the first power-off speed is output to a test machine. The test machine determines whether the power circuit is working normally according to the first power-off speed.

Abstract: A control circuit including a storage circuit, a voltage detection circuit, a processing circuit, and a wake-up circuit is provided. The storage circuit includes a register and stores a program code. The voltage detection circuit detects an external voltage. The processing circuit accesses the register in response to the external voltage reaching a first predetermined voltage. The processing circuit enters a power-down mode in response to the external voltage reaching a second predetermined voltage. In the power-down mode, the processing circuit stops accessing the register. The wake-up circuit determines whether a wake-up event occurs. In response to the wake-up event, the wake-up circuit directs the processing circuit to exit the power-down mode and enter an operation mode. In response to there being no wake-up event, the processing circuit stays in the power-down mode. In the operation mode, the processing circuit executes the program code.
