Abstract
A power supply glitch detector includes a sense node AC coupled to a power supply node on which voltage glitches having a magnitude of Vare to be detected. A sensing inverter has an input and an output, the input coupled to the sensing node, the sensing inverter having a trip voltage Vbelow which the output of the sensing inverter is at a voltage representing a logic high state and above which the output of the sensing inverter is at a voltage representing a logic low state. An adjustable voltage biasing circuit is coupled to the sensing node to maintain the input of the sensing inverter at a bias voltage V, wherein Vis chosen such that either both conditions (V<V) and (V+V>V) or both conditions (V>V) and (V−V<V) are always true.
