ABSTRACT:
An initialization circuit for memory registers, having a signal input being applied a supply voltage which rises linearly from a null value, and an initializing output connected to an input of a memory register and on which a voltage signal, being equal or proportional to the supply voltage, during the initialization step, and a null voltage signal, upon the supply voltage dropping below a predetermined tripping value, are produced. Additionally, the circuit has, between the input and the output, a first circuit portion connected to the input; a second circuit portion connected after the first and having a first output connected to the initializing output; and a third, inverting circuit portion having an input connected to a second output of the second portion and an output connected to the first portion to hold off that first portion while the supply voltage drops below the threshold voltage.
