Power management supply interface circuitry, systems and methods
First Claim
1. An electronic system comprising:
- a power management logic circuit;
a first power supply connector electrically coupled to said power management logic circuit and a second power supply connector electrically coupled to said power management logic circuit;
wherein said power management logic circuit comprises a first logic section connected to said first power supply connector, said first logic section having a suspend output, and a second logic section connected to said second power supply connector for operation independent of said first logic section when power is available at said second power supply connector and suspended at said first power supply connector.

Abstract
An electronic system (6) has a power management logic circuit (920). A first power supply connector (1902) is electrically coupled to the power management logic circuit (920) and a second power supply connector (1904) is also electrically coupled to the power management logic circuit (920). The power management logic circuit (920) has a first logic section (920A) connected to the first power supply connector (1902), and the first logic section (920A) has a suspend output (SUSPEND#). A second logic section (920B) is connected to the second power supply connector (1904) for operation independent of the first logic section (920A) when power is available at the second power supply connector (1904, RTCPWR) and suspended at the first power supply connector (1902, VCC).
