Abstract:
PURPOSE: A power up signal generator is provided to generate a power up signal stably without regard to temperature variation, and to operate stably at a low power supply voltage by lowering a trip voltage. CONSTITUTION: According to the power up signal generator, a PMOS transistor(50) supplies a power supply voltage dropped to a node(N1) above a set voltage as a power supply voltage increases after an initial power supply voltage is supplied. A current source(54) flows a constant current by receiving the power supply voltage supplied from the PMOS transistor. The first inverter(60) inverts the voltage level supplied from the PMOS transistor to the node(N1) when the voltage level reaches a threshold voltage while a constant reference current flows from the current source. And the second inverter(62) outputs a power up signal by delaying an inverted output signal from the first inverter and then inverting it.
