  • System and method for a power sequencing circuit
    Patent number: 9690344
    Abstract: An embodiment is a circuit including a main power supply coupled to a first node, a charge reservoir coupled between a second node and ground, an isolation circuit coupled between the first node and the second node, and a plurality of secondary power supplies coupled to the second node, the plurality of secondary power supplies configured to receive power from the main power supply. The circuit further includes a detector circuit coupled to the first node, the detector circuit configured to detect the presence and absence of a first supply voltage at the first node, and a timing circuit coupled between the detector circuit and the plurality of secondary power supplies, the timing circuit configured to enable and disable the plurality of secondary power supplies in predetermined sequences based on the detection of the first supply voltage by the detector circuit.
