Zusammenfassung:A low voltage attack detector includes: a low voltage detector configured to output a low voltage detection flag signal having a high level when a first power supply voltage reaches a first voltage level using a bandgap reference (BGR) circuit including a PMOS transistor and a first bipolar junction transistor (BJT) connected in series between the first power supply voltage and a second power supply voltage; a BGR operation region detector configured to output a malfunction detection flag signal having a high level when the first power supply voltage reaches a second voltage level lower than the first voltage level; and a logic gate configured to output a final low voltage detection flag signal having a high level when at least one of the low voltage detection flag signal and the malfunction detection flag signal has a high level.
