A Schmitt trigger circuit having an input coupled to a current summing junction. A trickle current source generates a trickle current applied to the current summing junction. A bandgap current source generates a bandgap current applied to the current summing junction (wherein the bandgap current is fixed when a supply voltage exceeds a threshold). A variable current source generates a variable current applied to the current summing junction (wherein the variable current varies dependent on the supply voltage). At the current summing junction, the variable current is offset against the trickle and bandgap currents with respect to generating a voltage that is sensed at the Schmitt trigger circuit input.
