Power-on-reset for memory

Abstract:

A system can include a voltage generator configured to generate a reference voltage, a power-up voltage, and a replicated voltage based on a power supply voltage. The system can further include a logic sub-component coupled to the voltage generator and configured to output a reset signal based on a comparison of the reference voltage to the power-up voltage and an indication that the reference voltage that has entered a steady state and is reliable as a measurement with respect to a voltage level of the power supply voltage. The indication can be determined based on a comparison of the replicated voltage to a particular threshold voltage level.
