Abstract
A system includes a detector, a first and second processor, and a reset circuit. The detector delivers a first signal in response to detecting a preselected condition, such as low battery voltage. The first processor receives the first signal and delivers an acknowledge signal indicating that the first processor will enter a reset mode of operation in response to receiving a reset signal. The second processor enters the reset mode of operation in response to receiving the first signal. The reset circuit delivers a reset signal to the first processor in response to receiving the first signal and the acknowledge signal so that the first processor is reset when it has acknowledged that it is ready to do so.
