Abstract
A control circuit inhibits the CLOCK input to the CPU during power-up to prevent newer submicron CPUs from locking up during a power-up condition. The control circuit also provides a delayed control signal representing that the power supply has stabilized. This delayed control signal is used to consistently control the RESET signal.
