Abstract

An IIL reset circuit includes an IIL inverter having input and output terminals, and a capacitor connected to the IIL inverter through the input terminal. When the IIL inverter is supplied with a constant current, it charges the capacitor through the input terminal, and outputs a reset pulse through the output terminal. The reset pulse has a pulse width that is determined based on both a current supplied to the capacitor, and on a capacitance of the capacitor.
