Abstract: An integrated-circuit device comprises a resettable source register in a first reset domain. A destination circuit, outside the first reset domain, is arranged to sample an output of the resettable source register. A digital logic module causes a central reset controller to output a reset-warning signal in response to receiving a request to reset first reset domain, and to reset the first domain after a predetermined delay period from outputting the reset-warning signal.

Abstract: An integrated-circuit device comprises a source register in a reset domain, a destination circuit outside the reset domain, and a reset checking circuit. The checking circuit comprises a buffer outside the reset domain for receiving data values output by the source register, a reset detector, and reset checking logic. The checking logic detects a new data value output by the source register, checks whether a reset of the reset domain has been detected, and contingently outputs a control signal for controlling whether the destination circuit receives the new data value from the buffer. The reset detector signals whether a reset has been detected by using a feedback path to hold a predetermined value in a resettable latch until the latch receives a reset signal, and to hold a different value in the latch after receiving a reset signal.
