Watchdogpiirejä
Watchdogpiirejä, often translated as watchdog timers, are specialized electronic circuits designed to monitor the proper functioning of microprocessors or other electronic systems. Their primary purpose is to reset the system if it becomes unresponsive or enters an erroneous state. This is crucial for embedded systems and critical applications where continuous operation is essential.
The concept behind a watchdog timer is simple: a counter within the timer is continuously incremented or
Watchdog timers can be implemented either in hardware, as dedicated integrated circuits, or in software, where
