Abstract

A voltage detector includes a voltage division circuit which outputs a divided voltage based on an input voltage, a comparison circuit which compares the divided voltage and a reference voltage to output a detection signal and a release signal, and a voltage limiting circuit which limits the divided voltage to a preset voltage.

Claims (12)

1. A voltage detector, comprising:

a voltage division circuit configured to output a divided voltage based on an input voltage;

a comparison circuit configured to compare the divided voltage and a reference voltage to output one of a detection signal and a release signal; and

a voltage limiting circuit configured to limit the divided voltage to a preset voltage,

wherein the voltage division circuit comprises:

an NMOS transistor having a source to which an output terminal of the voltage division circuit is connected, and a gate to which a constant voltage is applied,

a first resistor connected between a first terminal to which the input voltage is applied, and a drain of the NMOS transistor, and

a second resistor connected between the output terminal of the voltage division circuit and a second terminal to which a reference potential is applied.

2. The voltage detector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the NMOS transistor is a depletion type, and

wherein the constant voltage is the reference voltage.

3. The voltage detector according to claim 1 , wherein the constant voltage is supplied from a voltage adjustment circuit to which the reference voltage is entered.
