Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit may include an internal circuit, and a power-on reset circuit for generating a power-on reset signal to initialize the internal circuit at a power-on. At the power-on, the power-on reset circuit delays a transition of the power-on reset signal from a first level to a second level until a given time duration after the power supply voltage reaches a detection voltage.
