BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description made with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a reset detection circuit according to a first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a timing diagram showing situations that occur when a power supply is started, when a battery is instantaneously disconnected, when a voltage VDD falls due to a surge, and when the power supply stops under a condition of V-RST2>V-MIN>VDD>V-RST;
FIG. 3A is a timing diagram showing a situation that occurs when the voltage VDD rises sufficiently earlier than the voltage 5VIN does;
FIG. 3B is a timing diagram showing a situation that occurs when the voltage VDD falls sufficiently earlier than the voltage 5VIN does;
FIG. 3C is a timing diagram showing a situation that occurs when the voltage VDD rises sufficiently later than the voltage 5VIN does;
FIG. 3D is a timing diagram showing a situation that occurs when the voltage VDD falls sufficiently later than the voltage 5VIN does;
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of a reset detection circuit according to a third embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram of a conventional reset detection circuit;
FIG. 6 is a timing diagram showing a situation that occurs when the power supply is started, when the battery is instantaneously disconnected, when the voltage VDD falls due to a surge, and when the power supply stops under a condition of VDD>V-RST>V-MIN; and
FIG. 7 is a timing diagram showing a situation that occurs when the power supply is started, when the battery is instantaneously disconnected, when the voltage VDD falls due to a surge, and when the power supply stops under a condition of V-MIN>VDD<V-RST.
