This paper describes a low voltage detection circuit used in the semiconductor chips. The circuit was composed of a detection part of the CMOS structure as three stages and two inverters. The output of the low voltage detection circuit become to 'high' from 'low', when the power supply voltage falls below 80%. When the power supply voltage is 5 V, it was detected at 4 V point. The proposed low voltage detection circuit can be easily applied only by changing the resister and the capacitor without structural change in a wide range of power supply voltage.
