Abstract
A circuit reliability system with a first voltage supply for outputting a first voltage and a second voltage supply for outputting a second voltage. The system also includes: (i) at least one node for providing a potential in response to the first voltage and the second voltage; (ii) monitoring circuitry for detecting the first voltage exceeding a threshold; and (iii) disabling circuitry, for disabling the second voltage supply in response to the monitoring circuitry detecting the first voltage exceeding a threshold.
