Abstract
The present disclosure provides a voltage monitor and a semiconductor device including the voltage monitor. The voltage monitor includes a first voltage-to-digital converter (VDC), a second VDC, a first digital-to-binary converter (DBC), a second DBC, and an adder. The first VDC is configured to generate a first digital signal in response to a clock signal, and the second VDC is configured to generate a second digital signal in response to the clock signal. The first DBC is connected to the first VDC, and configured to convert the first digital signal to a first binary signal. The second DBC is connected to the second VDC, and configured to convert the second digital signal to a second binary signal. The adder is connected to the first DBC and the second DBC, and configured to combine the first binary signal and the second binary signal into an output signal.
