Well, the problem we are facing here is not really showing up during
normal operation. The amplifier is resetting only if there's a strong
electrostatic discharge on the front panel of the device. This is most
likely only going to occur during an EMC test. To pass the EMC test a
short dropout is acceptable as long as the device continues normal
operation afterwards.
Of course there's a small likelihood that such an electrostatic
discharge will happen in real life, but we have never seen this
happening so far and if it will happen the user will most likely prefer
a short dropout over complete failure.
Regards,
Sven
