Abstract

A power-on management circuit for a memory device is provided. The power-on management circuit comprises a first external power-on voltage detector, a second external power-on voltage detector, a delay unit, a logic circuit, an internal power-on voltage detector, a voltage control circuit, a plurality of first electric pumps and a second electric pump. The first external power-on voltage detector has a first voltage threshold, receives a first external voltage, and generates a first control signal when the first external voltage is higher than the first voltage threshold. The second external power-on voltage detector has a second voltage threshold, receives a second external voltage, and generates a second control signal when the second external voltage is higher than the second voltage threshold.
