PIC Pulse Initialization Circuit
(or sometimes, Process Initialization
Circuit), a circuit
designed to introduce a circuit
pulse (or process) to an
Nv net in certain
circumstances. PICs are sometimes used as part of a
startup circuit to initialize an
Nv net to assure it is
supporting one and only one process
at any given time. The first startup circuit
designs were manual, and so required human intervention and
some degree of timing, to initialize the given Nv
net. More modern circuits use
various automatic startup circuits
to initialize the Nv net
without assistance at power-up. See also PNC.
