ABSTRACT:
A power-on reset circuit which employs a supply voltage sensing branch for triggering a first inverter of a pair of cascaded inverters. The intrinsic static consumption of such a POR circuit is strongly reduced by employing a current generator, which is automatically forced to deliver a reduced current during the operation of the integrated circuit, for biasing two transistors functionally connected in said voltage sensing branch into a subthreshold operating condition.
