Abstract:
A power distribution circuit can include a comparator circuit that is formed of an inverter. The inverter can be configured with a trip voltage value (Vtrip) different than half a supply voltage value (VDD/2) for further energy efficiencies in discharging a charge storage device used in the power distribution circuit to gain security.
