Abstract
Methods and apparatus for an integrated circuit that includes a supply voltage transient detection module to activate a hold signal that causes the output to remain in its present state. In one embodiment, the output remains in that state until the supply voltage returns to a normal operating range and the hold signal transitions to an inactive state.
