3.6 Power-up Reset
Registers of the ATF16V8C are designed to reset during power-up. At a point delayed slightly from VCC crossing
VRST, all registers will be reset to the low state. As a result, the registered output state will always be high on
power-up.
This feature is critical for state machine initialization; however, due to the asynchronous nature of reset and the
uncertainty of how VCC actually rises in the system, the following conditions are required:
1. The VCC rise must be monotonic, from below 0.7V.
2. After reset occurs, all input and feedback setup times must be met before driving the clock term high.
3. The signals from which the clock is derived must remain stable during tPR.
