Abstract:
A power path controller included in a system-on-chip (SoC) is provided. The power path controller is coupled to a first power source and a second power source. The power path controller includes a first switch located between the first power source and a memory core included in the SoC, a second switch located between the second power source and the memory core, a comparator configured to compare a first power supply voltage supplied from the first power source with a second power supply voltage supplied from the second power source, and a switch controller configured to selectively activate the first switch or the second switch according to a comparison result of the comparator.
