In the requirement specs and detailed design documents
I use to derive our customer technical manuals, I have
run across the term "large iron mallet" regarding a
very strong reset action upon a chip... which is quite
de-assertive... or deassertive...

In these matters (such as buses vs. busses, firmware
vs. FPGA code) I hasten to www.googlewar.com to see
what the ignor... internet masses have to say.

The results for the current debate are:
"de-assert" 3,040 hits
"deassert" 5,480 hits

"Deassert" wins.
