ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of a computer system comprises a south-bridge. The south-bridge comprises a controller including a buffer for communicating with electronic devices. When detecting that a Reset# signal is asserted, the buffer is set to a Hi-Impedance state to separate the controller from the electronic device. The Reset# signal indicates a full system reset.
