ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit (110) includes, on a single chip, distinct supply voltage terminals and internal on-chip supply conductors connected respectively thereto, including a ground terminal (GND) and terminals for first and second supply voltages (VCC3, VCC5), and a terminal for a selectable supply voltage (VCCDK) and also has a power-good terminal (PWRGOOD5). A plurality of peripheral control circuits (910, 938, 932) are connected by an on-chip internal bus (904). The peripheral control circuits (910, 938, 932) connect to different ones of the internal on-chip supply conductors for operation on the first and second supply voltages (VCC3, VCC5), and the selectable supply voltage (VCCDK). Reset circuitry (2390) is provided for at least one of the peripheral control circuits. A control latch (PMU.sub.-- CNTRL) has a bit (VCCDRV5V) to which the reset circuitry (2390) is responsive. The reset circuitry (2390) provides resets for the at least one of the peripheral control circuits (IDERST, FDDRST) as a function of a voltage at the power-good terminal (PWRGOOD5). Other devices, systems and methods are also disclosed.
