Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of integrated power management circuits, in particular to a CMOS static zero-power-consumption power-on reset circuit, which is especially suitable for application in low-power SoC chips. Background technique
[0002] Power-On Reset (POR, Power-On Reset) circuits have been widely integrated into SoC chips. In the early stage of power-on of a circuit system, the power supply voltage has not yet reached the expected stable state, and the circuit node voltage and logic state are unstable, which may cause system error operation. In order to make the system work from a predetermined initial state, it is necessary to use the power-on reset circuit to generate a POR signal at the initial stage of power-on to initialize the system.
[0003] figure 1 (a) discloses an existing power-on reset circuit, which includes a PMOS transistor M1 and a capacitor C1. The source of the PMOS transistor M1 is connected to the external powe...
