METHOD OF RESETTING A PROCESSOR |
| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a method of resetting a processor, the method comprising the receiving of a reset signal indicating that one or more parts of said processor need to be reset, and forwarding of said reset signal to said parts to be reset. The forwarding of the reset signal is delayed for a period of time for at least one of the parts to be reset. The clock frequency of at least one of the parts to be reset is gradually decreased during said period of time. In this way the total activity of the processor device is gradually decreased so as to avoid an on-chip voltage overshoot, which could cause a total reset of all the parts of the processor. |

1. A method of resetting a processor, the method comprising:
receiving a reset signal indicating that one or more parts of said processor need to be reset, gradually decreasing a clock frequency of said at least one of the parts to be reset; forwarding of said reset signal to said parts to be reset, wherein said forwarding of said reset signal is delayed for a period of time for said at least one of the parts to be reset. |
