Engineers use external microcontroller (MCU) supervisory circuits as a fail-safe to ensure that their systems operate in a safe manner when unforeseen, unpredictable events occur when their systems are sent out “into the wild,” that is, when their systems are no longer in a controlled environment. (Here, we will consider microprocessors and central processing units […]
Watchdog Timer: what is it?
In the world of microcontrollers (MCUs), sometimes things go wrong. If a program goes haywire or into an infinite loop, it needs a way to check and see if things are still running. In “the old days,” the Windows operating system would occasionally crash (experience a fatal error) and put up what was called the […]
