Abstract: An electric device includes: a first power domain; a second power domain; a third power domain, where during power-up, the third, the second, and the first power domains are configured to be powered up sequentially, where during standby-exit, the first, the second, and the third power domains are configured to be powered up sequentially; isolation paths that provide controlled signal transmission among the first, the second, and the third power domains, where each isolation path includes an isolation circuit between an input power domain and an output power domain of the isolation path; and a control circuit in the first power domain, where for each isolation path, the control circuit is configured to generate an isolation control signal for the isolation circuit, where the isolation circuit is configured enable or disable signal transmission along the isolation path.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a method for testing multiple power-on-resets in a system-on-chip with a multi-power domain architecture operating under a dual power flow mode is provided. The method includes powering up the system-on-chip to full power mode, decoupling a third power domain from a first power domain and a second power domain, monitoring a general purpose input/output (GPIO) pad of the third power domain during a ramping down of a supply of the third power domain, and detecting a logic transition at the GPIO pad of the third power domain corresponding to a trip-point of the power-on-reset of the third power domain.
