Free Elektor Circuit – An NE555 Watchdog Timer


https://www.electronics-lab.com/free-elektor-circuit-ne555-watchdog-timer/

from an Idea by Wolfgang Borst (Germany) Virtually every modern microcontroller has a built-in watchdog. It prevents the microcontroller ‘hanging’ which may be the result of a programming error or an unforeseen operating condition, where, for example, the program becomes trapped in an infinite loop and no longer reacts to external or internal input. In […]
