A device for controlling a power-on reset signal can include a constant current source, for controlling a reference current that is independent of a supply voltage, and a trip point detector circuit driven by the reference current. The trip point detector circuit detects when the supply voltage of the device exceeds a first trip point voltage, and de-asserts the power-on reset signal when the supply voltage exceeds the first trip point voltage. The first trip point voltage can be controlled by a sum of a threshold voltage of a first n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor, a voltage drop across a first resistor, and a threshold voltage of a first p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor. The device may further include a hysteresis circuit, for detecting when the supply voltage falls below a second trip point voltage and causing the trip point detector circuit to reassert the power-on reset signal.
