Abstract:
1. A microcontroller device, comprising: a receiver component configured to receive one or more reset signals for the microcontroller device from internal reset sources; an identification component configured to identify a source of each of the one or more reset signals received by the receiver component; a time interval determining component configured to determine a length of a time interval in accordance with the identified source of each of the one or more reset signals received by the receiver component, the length of the time interval being unique for the identified source; a voltage setting component configured to set a voltage of a reset output signal on a reset output pin of the microcontroller device to a first value on receipt of a reset signal by the receiver component; and a control component configured to maintain the voltage of the reset output signal at the first value for the duration of the determined length of the time interval; and to set the voltage of the reset output signal to a second value on substantial completion of the determined length of the time interval.
