The present invention relates to the field of reset circuit technology, and specifically discloses a power-on reset circuit and method, the circuit comprising: a
voltage divider, including a
voltage-dividing MOS tube and a
voltage-dividing
resistor, provided with a voltage-dividing output point, used to generate a trigger voltage division and adjust the
power consumption of the power-on reset circuit; a
hysteresis device, including a
hysteresis MOS tube, electrically connected to the voltage-dividing output point, used to avoid reset voltage
jitter caused by
power supply voltage jitter; a
comparator, the input end of which is electrically connected to the voltage-dividing output point, and the output end of which is electrically connected to the input end of the
hysteresis device, used to convert the trigger voltage division into a logic
signal; a buffer, the input end of which is electrically connected to the output end of the
comparator, and the output end is used as the output end of the power-on reset circuit, used to increase the driving capability of the power-on reset circuit. The present invention has a precise trigger point, is insensitive to process angle and temperature changes, the trigger point changes with process angle, temperature, and
power supply voltage within + / -100mV, and does not rise with the increase of
power supply voltage, has a small area, and is low in cost.
