Abstract
An integrated circuit having a terminal for receiving a first signal, a terminal for receiving a second signal, and circuitry for generating a reset signal is disclosed. The reset signal is asserted based on a transition of the first signal when the second signal is in a predetermined state. In one embodiment the first signal is a suspend clock signal, the second signal is a suspend status signal, and the reset signal is used to reset a resume well within the integrated circuit. Thus, the integrated circuit can be used in a computer system which has a suspend mode with a resume sequence during which the resume well is reset, without requiring that the integrated circuit include an extra terminal for indicating when to reset the resume well.
