Abstract:
1. An operating circuit controlling device, comprising: a detection circuit configured to compare an external voltage with a reference voltage and activate a detection signal when the external voltage is less than the reference voltage; a control logic configured to keep an operating circuit in a busy state in response to the detection signal; a control signal generation circuit configured to generate first and second control signals in response to the detection signal; a pump clock generation circuit configured to generate a pump clock to be input to a pump circuit to generate an operating voltage of the operating circuit, wherein the pump clock generation circuit is configured to be disabled in response to the first control signal; a micro clock generation circuit configured to generate a micro clock, wherein the mircoclock generation circuit is configured to be disabled in response to the first control signal; and a microcontroller configured to control the operating circuit in response to the micro clock, wherein the microcontroller is configured to be reset in response to the second control signal when the micro clock generation circuit is disabled in response to the first control signal.
