Abstract

A programmable IC is disclosed that includes a programmable logic sub-system, a processing sub-system, and a safety sub-system. The programmable logic circuits in the programmable logic sub-system are configured to form a set of circuits indicated in a set of configuration data. The processing sub-system also executes a software program included in the set of configuration data. The programmable logic sub-system and the processing sub-system are independently powered. In response to a power failure of the processing sub-system and continued power to the programmable logic sub-system, the safety sub-system resets only the processing sub-system. In response to a power failure of the programmable logic sub-system and continued power to the processing sub-system, the safety sub-system resets only the programmable logic sub-system.
