Charge free power-on-reset circuit
 A novel structure and method are taught for fully discharging a capacitor and thereby reducing the capacitance needed to achieve a desired RC time constant. The invention overcomes the previously encountered problem of using a large and area-inefficient capacitor. The invention allows for conservation of integrated circuit space and is cost effective.
