Abstract
A power management controller (PMC) for resetting various voltage domains of an integrated circuit (IC) generates and transmits first and second voltage domain input signals to first and second voltage domains, respectively, and generates corresponding reset signals for resetting the first and second voltage domains. The PMC generates a first master reset signal indicative of resetting the first and second voltage domains when the first and second voltage domains are booting. The PMC generates a second master reset signal indicative of resetting the first and second voltage domains when the IC is in a functional mode. The PMC determines whether the first and second voltage domains are non-functional and if at least one is non-functional, then the PMC masks a respective one of the first and second reset signals.
