Modern digital systems work with a supply voltage of +3.3 V, and sometimes they also need an additional, lower supply voltage, such as 1.8 V, 1.5 V or even 1.2 V. To generate a reset signal from these two voltages, it was previously necessary to use a separate reset IC for each voltage, and each IC had to be individually dimensioned for the voltage it monitored.
