Discussing MCUs and Watchdogs

Discussing MCUs and Watchdogs

The “independence” of the built-in watchdog in MCUs is typically reflected in its hardware isolation from core processing units (such as CPUs and buses), for example, having independent clock sources, counters, and reset logic. This ensures that even if the CPU becomes unresponsive due to software bugs or hardware failures, the built-in watchdog can still … Read more
