Abstract
A powerdown controller receives a powerdown signal and causes a powerdown if the powerdown signal indicates a powerdown condition. An override signal also forces the powerdown controller to cause the powerdown when the powerdown signal is not indicating the powerdown condition. An override circuit generates the override signal if the powerdown condition is desired and the powerdown signal is not indicating the powerdown condition.
