    摘要: Systems and methods for managing asynchronous resets in an SoC have been described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a reset generation circuit in an SoC, may include a first reset generation circuit configured to enable a first reset signal based, at least in part, upon a clock signal and an indication to reset. The reset generation circuit may also include a second reset generation circuit coupled to the first reset generation circuit, in which the second reset generation circuit is configured to enable a second reset signal after the first reset signal is enabled. The first reset signal and the second reset signal are both provided to a component of the SoC.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer media are described for process-oriented application configuring using semantic mapping. Desired application processes can be identified by a user, and a semantic map can be generated linking the application processes, and components of processes, to corresponding configuration objects that are used to implement the processes in the application. Configuration objects can be settings, objects, functions, user interface features, executables, etc. The semantic map thus bridges between the process-oriented view of an application and the functional, implementation-oriented view of the application. The applications can then be configured using the configuration objects identified and linked by the semantic map.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for hardware reset management for universal flash storage (UFS) are described. A UFS device may initiate a boot-up procedure that includes multiple phases. The UFS device may perform a first reset operation to reset one or more circuits based on receiving a first reset command during a first phase. The UFS device perform a second phase and may initiate a portion of a second reset operation to reset the one or more circuits during the second phase based on a likelihood that a second reset command is to be received. The UFS device may receive the second reset command during the second phase after initiating the portion of the second reset operation. The UFS device may initiate a second portion of the second reset operation based on receiving the second reset command and initiating the portion of the second reset operation.

    摘要: During operation, an electronic device may receive, associated with a computer, a packet or a frame that includes a dynamic power reset pattern, where the dynamic power reset pattern specifies temporal pattern of power resets. Then, the electronic device may detect multiple power resets, where a given detected power reset in the detected power resets involves activation of a power reset button in the electronic device. Moreover, the electronic device may compute a detected power reset pattern, where the detected power reset pattern includes a detected temporal pattern of detected power resets. Next, the electronic device may compare the dynamic power reset pattern and the detected power reset pattern. Furthermore, based at least in part on a result of the comparison, the electronic device may at least selectively provide, to the computer, the result of the comparison.

    摘要: A power down signal generator generates a power down signal. The power down signal generator includes a detection transistor, a resistor coupled in series with the detection transistor, and a compensation transistor coupled in parallel to the resistor. The detection transistor receives a first supply voltage in a first voltage domain and a current. A control voltage is generated across the resistor based on a first part of the current. The compensation transistor receives a bias voltage derived from a second supply voltage in a second voltage domain and sinks, based on the bias voltage, a second part of the current to maintain the control voltage within a predefined range. The generation of the power down signal is controlled based on the first supply voltage and the control voltage.

    摘要: A power supply system includes an output terminal, a power supply control chip, a power supply switch and a detection device. The power supply control chip is configured to adjust the amount of an input power providing to an electronic device by the power supply device. The power supply switch is configured to control the connection between the power supply device and the power supply control chip. The detection device is configured to detect whether the power supply control chip operates normally. When the power supply control chip operates abnormally, the detection device controls the connection between the power supply device and the power supply control chip through the power supply switch for restarting the power supply control chip. The power supply control chip, the power supply switch and the detection device are disposed in an enclosed space.

    摘要: A semiconductor circuit is disclosed, comprising: a processor; a supply-voltage terminal arranged to receive a supply voltage; an out-of-range-voltage-detection circuit, coupled to the supply-voltage terminal and configured to output a voltage-out-of-range indicator in response to detecting that the supply voltage is out-of-range; a PWM signal generator configured to generate a PWM signal; a power-on-reset request terminal arranged to output the PWM signal during a normal operation of the processor; and logic circuitry between the signal generator and the POR request terminal and configured to modify the PWM signal in response receiving the voltage-out-of-range indicator. A microcontroller circuit incorporating such a semiconductor circuit, and a PMIC circuit for use in conjunction, are also disclosed.
