Watchdog Timer Protects Critical Systems

Performing as a defense mechanism against hardware and software failures in critical systems, the Emphase WDT-01 watchdog timer module exhibits a small footprint and restores and maintains a system’s normal operation by monitoring its activity. The module targets motherboards that do not have a built-in watchdog timer and/or applications requiring extended redundancy that an integrated timer cannot provide. Operating with the reset-switch input makes it compatible with most PC-style motherboards. Providing a wide input-voltage range, the module can derive drive from a wide variety of signal sources. Single unit price is $29. LOGIC SUPPLY INC., South Burlington, VT. (802) 861-2300.
