Abstract
In a particular illustrative embodiment, a system is disclosed that includes a first power domain that is responsive to a first power switching circuit and a second power domain that is responsive to a second power switching circuit. The system also includes a logic circuit adapted to selectively activate the first power switching circuit and the second power switching circuit. At least one of the first power switching circuit and the second power switching circuit includes a first set of transistors adapted for activation during a first power up stage and a second set of transistors adapted for activation during a second power up stage after at least one of the first set of transistors are activated.
