ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit may be initialized by determining that the supply voltage is ramping up and resetting logic in the integrated circuit to a predetermined initial state using a reset signal. After the logic is determined to be in its initial state and the supply voltage is established, the reset signal may be latched off. A pulse generator includes circuits that prevent the pulse generator from being reactivated until after a power cycle.
