An indication that a power supply is ramped up to a threshold level is received. A circuit is woken up in response to receiving the indication if a control field of configuration information is in a first state, and the circuit is not woken up in response to receiving the indication if the control field of configuration information is in a second state.

Method and apparatus for waking up a circuit

Circuits in a processor may provide an indication that power supplies are ready when waking from a reduced power state. The processor may include timers to measure a period of time, and may utilize voltage detectors to detect the voltages on the power supplies. A control register in the processor may influence the operation.
