Problems solved by technology

That is, if the power supply voltage of the existing power-on reset circuit does not rise after being lower than 0.76V, the power-on reset signal cannot be generated
For example, in a DRAM that uses 1.3V as the low power supply voltage in the standby operation mode, there is a problem that the power-on reset signal is not generated after the standby operation mode ends, and the internal circuit is not reset.

Abstract

A power on reset circuit includes: interconnected first and second inverter circuits; a capacitor and a buffer circuit. In the power on reset circuit, in order to increase source voltage of an N channel MOS transistor in the second inverter circuit to a voltage higher than ground voltage, a diode-connected transistor is inserted between the source of the transistor and a ground node. Thus, the power on reset circuit never fails to produce the power on reset signal even when power supply voltage is dropped.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a power-on reset circuit, and more specifically, to a power-on reset circuit that generates a power-on reset signal for a predetermined period after power is turned on. Background technique [0002] In most semiconductor integrated circuit devices such as DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), and microprocessors, in order to initialize internal circuits that are in an unstable state before power is turned on, a power-on A power-on reset circuit that generates only a power-on reset signal for a specified period afterward. The power-on reset signal is only activated during a specified period before the power supply voltage reaches a specified voltage value, and becomes ineffective when the power supply voltage reaches a specified voltage value. The aforementioned internal circuits are reset in response to the activated power-on reset signal. [0003] On the other hand, recently, se...
