POWER CONTROL AND STATUS CIRCUITRY FOR COMMUNICATING POWER ON RESET CONTROL AND STATUS VIA A SINGLE ELECTRODE

摘要

A system and method providing, via a single output electrode of an integrated circuit having internal circuitry, a status signal having time multiplexed states indicative of a power on reset condition for external circuitry following enablement of operations of portions of the internal circuitry, and further indicative of subsequent operation statuses of the internal circuitry portions.
