Memory device power control |
摘要 |
The apparatus described herein may comprise a first set of transistors, including a first transistor and a second transistor, and a second set of transistors, including a third transistor and a fourth transistor. Gates of the first and second transistors may be coupled to a first signal and a second signal, respectively, each indicating whether a corresponding one of a first supply voltage and a second supply voltage reaches a first threshold voltage or a second threshold voltage to power on a first circuit or a second circuit of a memory device. Gates of the third and fourth transistors may be coupled to a first inverted version of the first signal and a second inverted version of the second signal, respectively. An outcome signal of the second set of transistors may indicate a power-on state of the memory device responsive to power states of the first and second signals. |

1. An apparatus comprising:
a first set of transistors including a first transistor and a second transistor, gates of the first and second transistors to couple to a first supply voltage, and a source or a drain of the first transistor coupled to at least one diode to couple to a second supply voltage, the first supply voltage to power on a first circuit of a memory device and having a first voltage range and the second supply voltage to power on a second circuit of the memory device and having a second voltage range different from the first voltage range; a second set of transistors including a third transistor and a fourth transistor, gates of the third and fourth transistors coupled to one or more of the first set of transistors, a source or a drain of the third transistor coupled to at least one leaker to couple to the second supply voltage, and a source or a drain of the fourth transistor to couple to an outcome signal, the outcome signal to be generated responsive to a voltage within the second voltage range and indicating whether the first supply voltage reaches a threshold voltage to power on the first circuit; and one or more transistors including a fifth transistor, a gate of the fifth transistor coupled to the at least one leaker and the source or the drain of the third transistor. |
