Hi, For a system with a micro with no on-board dog and where an external wdog ic "could" be eliminated, has anyone implemented anything cheaply and effectively to perform this function? I imagine a simple solution would be to have a CR arrangement where the C charges VCC and activates the reset line (for active high resets) if an output pin does not maintain a specific duty cycle. Any advances on that nastiness? Regards, Dan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
