Capacitor Help

Ok this should be a simple question. A shame i cant answer myself heh...

How do i calculate what Capacitor and Resistor to use to create a delay in power up?

I want to create a circuit that will filter the power rail until its stable and then supply uC with power.

They sell POR devices but im sure i can simply create a RC filter to do ensure stable power before startup.

Are you familiar with capasitor charging formulas?

You can always use a simple combination of a resistor/cap+zener + BJT to power something after a short time after voltage has been applied. However, this assume that power supply voltage rises fast when you turn it on. Otherwise, it takes longer time to turn on than you've calculated.

Ive heard and seen it before but forgot it. Can someone post a link to it?

The usual method is to keep the Uc in reset until power is stable. This can be done with an RC circuit or a power monitor IC. See the following app note.

thanks heh i found:
**broken link removed** and **broken link removed**
thanks to your link

so a 10k and 1uf should be about 10ms startup time right?
