Zusammenfassung:A device can include one or more circuits that are configured to be powered by a supply voltage having a specified minimum operating value and a specified nominal operating value; and a reset circuit having a first voltage threshold and a second voltage threshold, the first voltage threshold having a value between the specified minimum operating value and the specified nominal operating value, the second voltage threshold having a value that is less than the specified minimum operating voltage. The reset circuit can be configured to a) reset the one or more circuits when the device is functioning in a first mode and the supply voltage drops below the first threshold and b) reset the one or more of circuits when the device is functioning in a second mode and the supply voltage drops below the second threshold.
