A power-on reset circuit is provided, which includes a ground input, a power input having a voltage relative to the ground input, a reset output, a self-initializing latch, a high voltage trigger circuit and a discharge circuit. The self-initializing latch has first and second latch nodes which are initialized to logic high and low states, respectively, upon initial application of power to the power input. One of the first and second latch nodes is coupled to the reset output. The high voltage trigger circuit is coupled to the first latch node and reverses the states of the first and second latch nodes when the voltage rises above a high trigger voltage. The discharge circuit is coupled to the second latch node and has a switch circuit, which selectively couples the second latch node to the ground input when the voltage falls below a low trigger voltage.

A power distribution system for a semiconductor die includes bonding pads located adjacent to and connected to power busses with connections between the bonding pads providing a parallel path for current. Connections may be provided by stitch bonds, by conductors within a substrate or by other means.
