Disclosed is a voltage detector and a communication circuit capable of detecting a low input voltage. The voltage detector includes: an alternating-current coupling circuit generating a first and a second input voltages according to a source input voltage; a feedback amplifier outputting a branch current according to a sink current including the branch current, and determining an output voltage according to the first input voltage and the amount of the branch current; and an auxiliary circuit outputting the amount of the sink current according to the second input voltage. When the sink current increases as the second input voltage rises, the branch current also increases, so that the output voltage not only rises as the first input voltage rises but also rises as the branch current increases. This feature allows a lower input voltage to be detectable by the detection of the risen output voltage.
