Reset Circuits
The C172 MAIN board contains two monitor reset circuits: +5 V and +42 V. The +5 V circuit
monitors the voltage level of the +5 V line (logic line) using a PST592D reset IC (IC9), and outputs a
reset signal to the CPU (IC1) and the E05E16 gate array (IC2) when the voltage level drops below
+4.0 V. The +42 V circuit monitors the voltage level of the +42 V line using an M51955B reset IC
(IC8), and outputs a reset signal to the CPU when the voltage level drops below +33.3 V. This
causes a non-maskable interrupt (NMI).
