Abstract
A power-on detecting circuit produces a power-on signal upon power-on event for initializing internal component circuits, and comprises a timing generating unit for producing a timing signal when a power voltage level reaches a predetermined voltage level, a monitoring unit for producing an enable signal when a step-down power voltage level reaches a constant level, and a signal generating unit for producing the power-on signal in the concurrent presence of the enable signal and the timing signal, thereby guaranteeing the initialization of the internal component circuits.
