Abstract

Transistor-based semiconductor devices, such as systems on chips, may be supplemented with a reset request mechanism to prevent a reset from causing the semiconductor device to enter into an uncertain, or fail, state. More particularly, a method or mechanism may modify a requested reset for a semiconductor device based on a state of the semiconductor device to prevent the semiconductor device from entering an uncertain, an undesired, or a failed state when the reset is effected with regard to the semiconductor device.
