Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a method and an apparatus for utilizing a microcontroller to provide an automatic order and timing power and reset sequencer. A first inter-integrated circuit (I2C) register table containing a modifiable system power-up sequence is accessed. An automatic system power-up operation is then performed in the order of the power-up sequence defined by the first I2C register table.
