Abstract

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a consolidated power-on-reset system (PORS) at a system-on-chip (SoC) level. In an illustrative example, an integrated circuit may include a first power domain and a second power region. A level shifter circuit may be coupled to translate data from the first power domain to the second power domain. A PORS including a voltage detection circuit, a glitch filter circuit, and logic gates may be configured to generate isolation signals between the first power domain and the second power domain. The level shifter circuit may be enabled in response to the generated isolation signals. By using the isolation signals, multiple power domains on IC may be managed comprehensively during power-up to avoid unstable operation.
