Abstract
A volatile memory initialization systems differentiates between a first class of reset causes requiring memory initialization and a second class of reset causes not requiring memory initialization. A register records the first and second classes of reset causes. A volatile memory initialization function is performed when a reset of the first class of reset causes is read from the register. The volatile memory initialization function is bypassed when a reset of the second class of reset causes is read from the register.
