Abstract
An intelligent power-on reset circuit in accordance with one embodiment of the invention can include a programmable voltage divider. The intelligent power-on reset circuit can also include a comparator that is coupled to the programmable voltage divider and that is coupled to receive a reference voltage. Furthermore, the intelligent power-on reset circuit can include a processing element that is coupled to the programmable voltage divider. The processing element can be coupled to receive programming for controlling a characteristic of the intelligent power-on reset circuit. The processing element can be for dynamically changing the programming during operation of the intelligent power-on reset circuit.
