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...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] First, in order to make the comparator CMP1 work normally, it is necessary to add an additional reference source generation circuit to provide the reference voltage Vref, which increases the complexity of the circuit design

[0008] Second, the above-mentioned circuit still needs to consume current when it is static, which increases the power consumption of
