Original Abstract Submitted
A power-up initialization circuit includes a delay chain circuit and a signal generator circuit. The delay chain circuit receives a power supply voltage, and applies a predetermined delay amount to the power supply voltage for generating a delayed output voltage. The signal generator circuit receives the delayed output voltage from the delay chain circuit, and generates and outputs at least one power-up initialization signal in response to the delayed output voltage.
