Abstract

A circuit includes a guard trigger circuit that includes a first input node adapted to be coupled to a first state signal, a second input node adapted to be coupled to a second state signal and an output node. The circuit also includes a reset synchronizer circuit that includes an input node coupled to the output node of the guard trigger circuit, a clock node adapted to be coupled to a clock signal and an output node. The circuit further includes a timeout circuit including an input node coupled to the output node of the reset synchronizer circuit, a clock node adapted to be coupled to the clock signal and an output node. The circuit still further includes a reset requestor circuit that includes a first input node coupled to the output node of the guard trigger circuit, a second node coupled to the output node of the timeout circuit.
