Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A signal detection circuit is provided, and includes a signal conversion module, a threshold control module, and a comparison module. The signal conversion module is configured to: convert a reference voltage signal into a reference current signal, and send the reference current signal to the threshold control module; convert a voltage signal to be detected into a current signal to be detected, and send the current signal to be detected to the comparison module. The threshold control module is configured to: generate a threshold current signal according the reference current signal, and send the threshold current signal to the comparison module; and receive a threshold control signal, and change magnitude of the threshold current signal according to the threshold control signal. The comparison module is configured to compare magnitude of the current signal to be detected with the magnitude of the threshold current signal, and output a comparison result.
