About the Hardware watchdog PCB
Hardware watchdog is an open source PCB design by rmingon, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 17.8 × 25.4 mm, with 13 components from 10 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the TPL5010. By type, the board carries 4 jumpers, 1 IC, 1 connector, 1 switch and 1 resistor.
From the project
PCB Hardware watchdog based on TPL5010
- VDD - 1.8 to 5.5V - GND - DELAY (DLY) - Time Interval set and Manual Reset - DONE - Logic Input for watchdog functionality - WAKE - Timer output signal generated every Digital pulsed signal to wake up the µC at the end of tIP period. - RST - Reset Output (open drain output)
