Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a resetting circuit of a key telephone system (KTS) capable of preventing data error caused by unstable power supply and instantaneous power-off of a key system unit (KSU), by adjusting a DC voltage of the key telehpone system, said DC voltage is applied to a reset terminal of a microprocessor in the key telephone system. The invention includes a power supply for supplying power to the KSU and KTS, a microprocessor for controlling the overall operation of the KTS, a first detecting means for detecting the voltage change of a first voltage Vcc1, and a second detecting means for detecting the voltage change of a second voltage Vcc2.
