Abstract

Embodiments including systems, methods, and apparatuses associated providing an interface between a north complex and a south complex of a system on a chip (SoC). In embodiments, the north complex may include a microcontroller in an input signal requirement. A power-on control block may be coupled with the microcontroller, and the power-on control block may be configured to receive a control signal from a component of the south complex, and alter the control signal based at least in part on the input signal requirement of the microcontroller.
