摘要:
A voltage-controlled delay element utilizes a current-starved inverter configuration with a feedback path that ensures a rapid discharge of the storage node to ground once the desired delay time has elapsed. The circuit comprises a circuit path for charging the storage node (preferably rapidly), a first pull-down path capable of discharging the storage node at a rate determined by the control voltage, a second pull-down path capable of rapidly discharging the storage node, an output inverter, and a feedback connection between the output terminal of the output inverter and the second pull-down path to rapidly discharge the storage node when the output voltage starts rising. The circuit further comprises a means for programmably adjusting the delay in response to logic signals.

A CMOS power-on reset circuit has a delay capacitor to provide a predetermined delay period. Charging and discharging of the delay capacitor is controlled by the state of a flipflop circuit. An input comparator monitors a power supply input voltage. An invalid input voltage level immediately changes the reset output signal to the invalid state and discharges the capacitor. Even after the input voltage has recovered to a valid level, recharging the capacitor is delayed until the capacitor has substantially discharged, thereby ensuring at least a predetermined delay period after the last fault condition. The delay capacitor is coupled in a feedback configuration so as to lower the threshold voltage when the delay capacitor voltage indicates to the valid state, to allow limited power supply sag, for example due to motor start-up, without resetting the circuit. Multiple power supply voltages are continuously monitored in a CMOS integrated configuration by additional input scaling resistor networks and input comparators, all coupled to the common 2-level threshold voltage node.

In a reverse-bias control circuit for a voltage-driven switching element which turns on upon receiving a forward-bias voltage and turns off upon receiving a reverse-bias voltage, a step-down circuit is included which serves for stepping down a reverse-bias voltage after a time delay which is substantially equal to the turn-off delay of the voltage-driven switching element. The control circuit further includes a recovery circuit for stopping operation of the step-down circuit after a delay which is substantially equal to the total turn-off time of the voltage-driven switching element. The reverse-bias control circuit serves to reduce the reverse-bias voltage, thereby blocking surge-voltage disturbances, without increasing the turn-off delay time.

This circuit arrangement makes is possible to reduce a higher attraction current to a lower hold current in a simple and cheap manner, there only being a small overall size and as significant advantages it is possible for the arrangement to be converted for complementary logic.
摘要:
A circuit (50) is provided in a dynamic RAM (1) for detecting establishment of a substrate bias voltage (V.sub.BB) when the power is first turned on. A NAND gate (5d) in a clock generator circuit (10) immediately applies a high level signal to an inner circuit (11) when the power is turned on. Successively, the NAND gate (5d) applies a RAS signal to the inner circuit (11) in response to the establishment of V.sub.BB. Therefore, the dynamic RAM (1) is brought to a standby state immediately after the power is turned on and thereafter is controlled by the RAS signal. Consequently, flow of excessive current and latch-up immediately after the power is turned on can be prevented.
