Abstract
A power on reset circuit includes a threshold detector circuit. The threshold detector circuit includes a power supply voltage, a voltage comparator, first circuitry, second circuitry, and third circuitry. The voltage comparator has first and second input terminals, and an output terminal to provide a reset signal. The first circuitry is operable to convert the power supply voltage to a sensed current, and provides a positive temperature coefficient to the sensed current. The second circuitry is operable to generate, based on the sensed current, a temperature-dependent voltage corresponding to the power supply voltage and to couple the temperature-dependent voltage to the first input of the voltage comparator. The third circuitry is operable to generate, based on the sensed current, a reference voltage and to couple the reference voltage to the second input of the voltage comparator.
