Original Abstract Submitted
a voltage supervisor (vs) or voltage sensing circuitry or architecture that can detect fast voltage transients. to detect fast voltage transients, a dedicated differential pair is routed between a point of load, such as a die or other chip, processor, etc., and the circuitry of the voltage supervisor. by connecting the differential pair at the point of load, fast voltage transients may be detected at the load level (e.g., at the point of load) and thereafter used to enable, disable, and/or restart an electronic device, such as a die, chip, processor, or other electronic component or system.
