ABSTRACT:
A circuit and a method are disclosed for a power start-up reset circuit which is self-timing and which can be fully integrated in a standard CMOS or BiCMOS process along with other digital circuits. The circuit provides a system reset signal which is issued only after all circuit have stabilized by making the issuance of this system reset signal dependent on an oscillator becoming stable and a subsequent count of a fixed number of system clock cycles derived from that oscillator.
