ABSTRACT:
There is provided a circuit and a method for generating a power up signal. The circuit for generating a power up signal, includes an external power voltage divider for dividing a magnitude of an external power voltage so as to output the divided voltage, an external power voltage detector for activating a detection signal when the output voltage of the external power voltage divider reaches a preset level, and a power up signal generator for outputting a power up signal according to the detection signal and a first internal power voltage. Herein, the power up signal is generated when the internal power voltage as well as the external power voltage reaches a sufficient level so that a power up signal skew may be reduced to stabilize its operation and enhance reliability of a device.
