ABSTRACT:
A circuit for resetting initial conditions upon starting of an integrated circuit device has null current consumption under normal operating conditions. The circuit includes an input stage, which is a threshold circuit, and pilots through an input node an output stage which is a trigger circuit with hysteresis. The input node of the output stage is connected to ground through a condenser and is connected through a transistor to a connection node between a condenser and a diode connected transistor which are inserted between the power supply and ground. The gate terminal of the first transistor is grounded.
