Abstract
A power up, power down reset circuit formed of charge storage apparatus for receiving and storing charge from one pole of a voltage supply, a pair of complementary field effect transistors having source-drain circuits connected in series aiding direction between the charge storage apparatus and another pole of the voltage supply, apparatus for connecting the one pole of the voltage supply to a gate of one transistor of the pair of transistors, apparatus for applying a voltage derived from the one pole of the voltage supply but having a value reduced from voltage of the voltage supply, to a gate of another transistor of the pair of transistors, and apparatus for providing a reset pulse from a junction between the source-drain circuits of the pair of transistors.
