In modern electronic gadgets, quite often, a pushbutton has some function and a hardware reset functionality. If you tap a pushbutton, it activates a function. If you press and hold the pushbutton for about 10 seconds, it acts as hardware reset.
I wonder what is the schematics for that. Should be super simple and cheap. I would not trust R-C for 10 second delays. An oscillator with divider logic would be bulky. Is there a specialized IC for that purpose?
