Abstract: A technique is provided for automatically initiating reset of a digital detector. Generally, a digital detector has an array of rows and columns of pixels, read out electronics and scan electronics, that are configured to generate and transmit signals based upon radiation impacting the detector. The technique incorporates an automatic reset circuit that provides state machines to implement a reset if no readout or scrub command is received within a set time interval, or if communication with a readout control circuit is not available. The technique also includes methods for monitoring inputs, and resetting the charge on the rows and columns of pixels.
