An ultra-low-power supervisory circuits can employ floating gate transistors. In an example, a supervisory circuit can include a reset output circuit, a voltage comparator circuit configured to reset the reset output circuit when a first input voltage falls below a reference voltage, and a watchdog circuit configured to receive a watchdog signal and to reset the reset output circuit if the watchdog signal does not transition within a predetermined watchdog interval. The voltage comparator circuit can include a first floating gate transistor circuit configured to establish a reference current for generating the reference voltage, and the watchdog circuit can include a second floating gate transistor circuit for selecting the predetermined watchdog interval. |
