  • Patent number: 8754680
    Abstract: Power-on-reset circuitry is provided for integrated circuits such as programmable logic device integrated circuits. The power-on-reset circuitry may use comparator-based trip point voltage detectors to monitor power supply voltages. The trip point detectors may use circuitry to produce trip point voltages from a bandgap reference voltage. Controller logic may process signals from the trip point detectors to produce a corresponding power-on-reset signal. The power-on-reset circuitry may contain a noise filter that suppresses noise from power supply voltage spikes. Normal operation of the power-on-reset circuitry may be blocked during testing. The power-on-reset circuitry may be disabled when the bandgap reference voltage has not reached a desired level. The power-on-reset circuitry may be sensitive or insensitive to the power-up sequence used by the power supply signals.

  • Patent number: 8154942
    Abstract: Circuitry on an integrated circuit is provided that may be used to program fuses such as polysilicon fuses. Fuse programming may be performed using an elevated power supply voltage. Other circuitry on the integrated circuit may be powered using a standard power supply voltage that is less than the elevated power supply voltage. Fuse sensing may be performed using the standard power supply voltage. A control block may be used to produce a fuse programming control signal. Power-on-reset circuitry may monitor the elevated power supply voltage and may produce a corresponding elevated power supply voltage power-on-reset signal indicative of whether the elevated power supply voltage is valid. The power-on-reset circuitry may also produce a standard power supply power-on-reset signal indicative of whether the standard power supply voltage is valid. The power-on-reset signals may be used in controlling fuse programming and fuse sensing.
