Abstract

An operating voltage switching device includes a first current mirror circuit generating a corresponding sensing current according to an input current; a comparator comparing a reference voltage with a voltage at a node of the first current mirror circuit to generate a comparison signal; a first power domain providing a first output current to an internal circuit according to the sensing current; a second power domain providing a second output current to the internal circuit according to the sensing current; and a power domain selecting circuit, which is coupled to the comparator, the first power domain and the second power domain, and selects to enable the first power domain or the second power domain according to the comparison signal; wherein the sensing current is not greater than the input current.
