 		 #134098 - Clock stopping on power-up
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Jan said:
However, it is unusable upon powerup...

I think that it would be usable there as well. It just keeps you from clocking the chip until Vdd is good. And it would work well with an external supervision on the reset pin.

Jan also said:
But I would not state it so cathegorically that with static clock "nothing can happen".

I won't say that, but I do think a lot less will happen if there is no clock around. Think of a party without beer!

And I would be interested in seeing a preview of Jan's PDF.
