Systems and techniques are described for providing a power supply glitch detector. For example, a computing device can generate (e.g., using a first supply scale-down engine connected to a power supply) based on a lower voltage threshold, a first voltage close to a reference voltage, compare (e.g., using a first comparator) the first voltage with the reference voltage, and generate, based on determining the first voltage is less than the reference voltage, a low flag indicating detection of a fault in the power supply. The computing device can generate (e.g., using a second supply scale-down engine connected to the power supply), based on an upper voltage threshold, a second voltage close to the reference voltage, compare (e.g., using a second comparator) the second voltage with the reference voltage, and generate, based on determining the second voltage is greater than the reference voltage, a high flag indicating detection of the fault.
