Feed or pet the watchdog

Warning: Power Rail low !
Isn't that the only thing watchdog's do ?  :-//
Damianos:
I think no! This is the "brown-out" detection circuit. Usually the BOR (Brown Out Reset), to avoid the ... misbehaving.

No, some also get kicked by the processor. If it doesn't get kicked, then the processor is assumed to have stopped/crashed and is reset.

Way back, we put a watchdog into an FPGA, so we had control over the 'feeding' mechanism. The processor had to write 0xFEEDF1D0 into the watchdog register to not be reset
