Abstract

A power-on reset circuit, including: a band-gap reference circuit, a current comparator, and a voltage comparison circuit powered by a voltage source; a first output terminal of the band-gap reference circuit connects to a control terminal of the current comparator; a first current input terminal and a second current input terminal of the current comparator receives a first current signal and a second current signal respectively, and an output terminal of the current comparator connects to a control terminal of the voltage comparison circuit; and a first input terminal of the voltage comparison circuit connects to the first output terminal of the band-gap reference circuit, a second input terminal thereof receives a signal indicating a voltage value of the voltage source, an output terminal thereof outputs a reset signal, thereby avoiding occurrence of an error caused by output of the reset signal when the reference generating circuit is unstable.
