+*-------------------------------------------------------------------
+* Simple POR circuit for Caravel
+*-------------------------------------------------------------------
+*
+* Architecture:
+*
+* Resistive divider sets mvnfet transistor gate voltage to ??V
+* mvnfet current is 240nA nominal
+* mvnfet drives current mirror at 1/400x to 600pA through mvpfet
+* current feeds 1.84pF capacitor (double MiM at 30um x 30um)
+* voltage across capacitor is input to chain of two schmitt trigger
+* inverters.
+*
+* Q = C * V = I * dt
+*
+* t = C * V / I = 1.84pF * 3.3V / 600pA = 10ms
+*
+* ~400x step-down done by mirroring 1:8, 1:7, 1:7 (= 392)
+*
+* From DC sweep test result, V = 0.7575 on the transtor gate at vin
+* Resistor divider at fraction 0.23.
+* This yields resistor lengths of 500 on top, 149 on the bottom
+*
+* Actual response of this circuit by ngspice simulation is 15ms.
