AI Technical Summary
When a large-scale SOC chip is powered on, the output voltage of the internal low-dropout regulator will glitch due to the simultaneous start-up of multiple clock domain circuits. This will cause the power-on reset circuit to be falsely triggered, outputting incorrect and invalid control signals and disrupting the normal operation of the chip.
By replicating the first power regulator, a second power regulator and a static load are added. By monitoring the switching between the first and second output voltages, the power-on reset circuit is ensured to operate in a stable state, thus avoiding false triggering.
It effectively prevents the power-on reset circuit from being falsely triggered due to load fluctuations in the main circuit, ensuring the normal operation of the chip and avoiding erroneous signal output caused by glitches.
