Low voltage detector

A low voltage detector includes a voltage and current reference circuit; a power supply voltage monitor circuit, coupled to the voltage and current reference circuit and to a power supply; and a voltage comparator, coupled to the voltage and current reference circuit and to the power supply voltage monitor circuit. The voltage and current reference circuit includes a self-cascode MOSFET structure (SCM) that produces a reference voltage. The power supply voltage monitoring circuit includes another SCM that produces a monitor voltage, related to the power supply voltage. The reference voltage and the monitor voltage have a same behavior with changes in temperature, thereby allowing the trip point of the low voltage detector to minimally vary with temperature. The low voltage detector is disposed on an integrated circuit, and the transistors of the low voltage detector consist of only CMOS transistors.
