Reset-out circuit with feed back capability

A controller comprising:

• a counter which outputs an enable signal after counting a predetermined number of counts;
• an input device which provides a start signal to said counter for initiating said counting in response to a first input reset signal;
• an output device which outputs an output reset signal in response to said start signal and said enable signal;
• said start signal being inhibited by a control signal.

A controller comprising:

• a counter which outputs a count enable signal after counting a predetermined number of counts;
• an input device which provides a start signal to said counter for initiating said counting in response to an input reset signal;
• an output device which outputs an output reset signal in response to said start signal and said count enable signal;
• said start signal being disabled in response to an external reset signal received from devices which are external to said controller.

A controller comprising:

• an input device which provides a start signal in response to a first reset signal generated within said controller;
• a counter which outputs a count enable signal after counting a predetermined number of counts in response to said start signal;
• an output device which outputs an output reset signal in response to said start signal and said count enable signal;
• said start signal being disabled in response to a second reset signal received at an input pin of said controller.
