MINIMUM HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
Figure 13-10. Minimum Reset Circuit
Other devices in the system may not be reset because the capacitor will keep the voltage above
V
IL
. Since RESET# is asserted for only 16 state times, it may be necessary to lengthen and buffer
the system-reset pulse. Figure 13-11 shows an example of a system-reset circuit. In this example,
D2 creates a wired-OR gate connection to the reset pin. An internal reset, system power-up, or
SW1 closing will generate the system-reset signal.

2. Optional pull-up for faster recovery.
