ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,489,440, issued on Dec. 2, was assigned to NXP B.V. (Eindhoven, Netherlands).
"Power-on reset circuit" was invented by Sampath Shivappa Holi (Kittur, India).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A power-on reset (POR) circuit includes first and second trip detector circuits. The first trip detector circuit generates a reset signal indicative of a state of a supply voltage based on a trip node voltage that ramps up when the supply voltage ramps up. The reset signal is asserted when the trip node voltage exceeds a threshold value. The second trip detector circuit generates a control signal based on the supply voltage and a reference voltage.
