Abstract:
A circuit includes a startup circuit to provide a charging signal to initiate startup of a reference circuit. The startup circuit includes a detector circuit having a detector current path control, a level shifter having a level shifter current path control, and a charger circuit having a charger current path control. Each of the detector current path control, the level shifter current path control, and the charger circuit current path control enable current flow in the startup circuit when the charger turn-on signal is in the on-state and disable the current flow in the startup circuit when the charger turn-on signal is in the off state.

Claim (Index 10):
A circuit, comprising:\n a reference circuit to provide a reference output voltage; a startup circuit to provide a charging signal to initiate startup of the reference circuit;\n the startup circuit comprising:\n a detector circuit having a detector current path control, the detector circuit to monitor a reference voltage of the reference circuit with respect to a predetermined threshold voltage, the detector circuit switches states of a control voltage output based on sensing the voltage level of the reference voltage with respect to the predetermined threshold voltage; \n a level shifter having a level shifter current path control, the level shifter to generate a charger turn-on signal in response to the control voltage output from the detector circuit, the charger turn-on signal is in an on state to enable the charging signal when the reference voltage is below the predetermined threshold voltage and the charger turn-on signal is in an off-state to disable the charging signal when the reference voltage is above the predetermined threshold voltage; and \n a charger circuit having a charger current path control, the charger circuit generates the charging signal when the charger turn-on signal from the level shifter is in the on state, wherein each of the detector current path control, the level shifter current path control, and the charger circuit current path control enable current flow in the startup circuit when the charger turn-on signal is in the on-state and disable the current flow in the startup circuit when the charger turn-on signal is in the off state.
