Abstract
A circuit that enables a safe power-on sequencing is described. The circuit enables a processor to be powered by an internal or external voltage source. The circuit detects for the presence of an external voltage regulator. If an external voltage generator is not providing a valid voltage source to the processor, the circuit enables an internal voltage regulator to provide a stable voltage source.
