5-Pin µP Supervisory Circuits with
Watchdog and Manual Reset

Maxim Integrated
Figure 10 shows an example of a flow diagram where
the I/O driving the watchdog input is set high at the
beginning of the program, set low at the end of every
subroutine or loop, then set high again when the pro-
gram returns to the beginning. If the program should
hang in any subroutine, the problem would be quickly
corrected, since the I/O is continually set low and the
watchdog timer is allowed to time out, causing a reset
or interrupt to be issued. As described in the
Watchdog
Input Current
section, this scheme results in higher time
average WDI current than does leaving WDI low for the
majority of the timeout period and periodically pulsing it
low-high-low.
