Abstract
A PVT detection circuit including: first and second transistors of a first conduction type each having its control node coupled to a control line, the first and second transistors being configured such that the variations in their threshold voltages as a function of temperature and/or process are different from each other; and an amplifier coupled to a second main conducting node of each of the first and second transistors and configured to amplify a difference in the currents conducted by the first and second transistors in order to generate an output signal.
