Abstract

A power down detection circuit that may detect a supply voltage decrease more accurately is provided. The power down detection circuit includes a BGR circuit generating a reference voltage VREF, a resistance division circuit generating a first internal voltage VCC_DIVand a second internal voltage VCC_DIVbased on a supply voltage VCC, a first comparator outputting a reset signal PDDRST when detecting VCC_DIV<VREF, a second comparator outputting a switching signal SEL when detecting VCC_DIV<VREF, a charging pump circuit generating a boosted voltage VXX based on the supply voltage VCC, and a switching circuit switching an operating voltage supplied to the BGR circuit to the supply voltage VCC or the boosted voltage VXX based on the switching signal SEL.
