Abstract
Circuits and methods for generating a reset signal are disclosed. A reset driver circuit receives a reset signal from a circuit, e.g., a reset generator and an input signal indicative of a required characteristic of a reset signal for a second circuit. The reset driver compares a characteristic of the reset signal with the input signal indicative of a required characteristic of a reset signal for a second circuit and generates an output signal that includes the required characteristics of the reset signal for a second circuit. A reset driver circuit may be placed in a communication path between a conventional reset generator and a second circuit that requires a reset signal.
