Abstract

A comparator () compares a pad voltage with a reference voltage (Vref) to output a voltage (VCCOK), and a comparator () compares a low voltage with a reference voltage (Vref) to output a voltage (VDDOK). A power-on circuit () includes a timer circuit () and starts a reference voltage generation circuit () after the power switch control circuit is started, and then starts the comparator (). After the comparator () is started, a controller () starts a voltage down converter () when the voltage (VCCOK) is at the H level, and turns on a MOS transistor (Q) when the voltage (VCCOK) is at the L level. A power-on circuit () includes a timer circuit () and starts a reference voltage generation circuit () after the voltage down converter () is started, and then starts a comparator (). After the comparator () is started, the controller () enters the standby state.
