Description

The pPOR01 (GlobalFoundries 65LPe version) is a 3-pin cell monitoring its supply voltage,  and providing a reset (POR) signal on power-up and power-down.

On power-up, the circuit holds the POR pin down until about 35-µs after VDD has exceeded a threshold voltage between 860 and 980-mV.

When VDD falls below the reset threshold (between 820 and 930-mV), POR is asserted (after about 35-µs), holding externally connected blocks in reset. There is a hysteresis of about 40-mV between the release and reset thresholds.

The threshold values have been optimized for each corner to ensure that logic cells will operate correctly and D-flipflops will hold state.

The POR signal is output with a delay of about 35-µs in order to filter out noise on the supply.

Users should connect the output of the circuit to a counter that will delay the release of reset. This will provide further filtering of noise on the supply.
