In the world of automobiles the term ECU (Electronic Control Unit) stands for any embedded system that controls one or more of the electrical subsystems in a motor vehicle. Types of ECU in an ...

Digital integrated circuits typically use asynchronous set/resets to set the value of memory elements (flip-flops) without depending on any clock pulses. This logic, however, requires special handling ...

Many microprocessor-based products require a manual-reset capability that allows the user, test technician, or external circuitry to reboot the system without a full power-down/power-up cycle. To ...

Short ac powerline dropouts can cause incomplete power-on resets, leaving the microcontroller and logic circuits in an indeterminate state. This susceptibility can be tested using a very low-cost ...
