    摘要: A circuit for configuring an external memory includes a memory controller, a register, an OR gate, first and second input/output (IO) pads, and pull-up and pull-down resistors. When the circuit is in a high power mode, the memory controller refreshes the external memory by providing reset and clock enable signals to the external memory by way of the first and second IO pads. When the circuit is in a low power mode, the pull-up and pull-down resistors configure the external memory in a self-refresh mode. When the circuit exits the low power mode, the first and second IO pads are powered on. The OR gate receives and provides a control signal output by the register to the external memory by way of the first IO pad, which keeps the external memory in the self-refresh mode.

    摘要: Multiple resets in a system-on-chip (SOC) during boot where on-board regulators and low voltage detector circuits have different trimmed and untrimmed values may be avoided by the inclusion of a series of latches that latch the trimmed values during boot and retain the trim values even during a SOC reset event. The SOC is prevented from entering into a reset loop during boot or when exiting reset for any reason other than boot. A power-on-reset comparator circuit that does not depend on any trim values enables the latches and only clears the latched trim values if its own supply voltage falls below a preset level.

A reference word line is enabled based on the programmable precharge signal and the control signals for tracking the enabled word line. A reference bit line is enabled based on the reference word line for tracking the enabled bit line. The reference sense generator generates a programmable sense signal based on the reference bit line, the programmable precharge signal and the control signals for reading a bit cell corresponding to the enabled bit line and word line.
