US Patent 11500808 Peripheral device having an implied reset signal

A peripheral device includes a bus interface and circuitry. The bus interface is configured to connect to a peripheral bus for communicating with a host in accordance with a peripheral-bus specification that specifies a physical reset signal asserted by the host. The circuitry is configured to execute predefined logic that evaluates a reset condition that is indicative of imminent assertion of the physical reset signal by the host, and to perform a reset procedure in response to meeting the reset condition.
