Abstract
An improved power-up circuit utilizing a simple current channel to rapidly charge or discharge nodes during the power-up transient, the time from when the circuit is signaled to power up to the time when the circuit becomes fully functional. The invention allows critical nodes previously limiting the power-up sequence to be rapidly charged to significantly improve the power-up performance of power savings circuits.
