Embedded Systems Watchdog Timer (10-Pack)

[Music] in this video I am going to discuss about the watchdog timer of the microcontroller many microcontroller systems are used in harsh environment conditions like voltage transients electromagnetic interference electrostatic discharge and these conditions will corrupt the instructions of the microcontroller watchdog timer is a hardware calm down primer that is used for detecting the software ever and research the microcontroller when the more watchdog timer is enabled will generate a microcontroller reset or inter if the user program fails to reload the watchdog timer within a predetermined amount of time it is the applications responsibility to reload the watchdog timer while to each time before it reaches the zero otherwise the watchdog timer will reset the microcontroller system here you can see the watchdog timer is used as external peripheral where it is not available on the on
