#182041 - The internal Watchdog Timer
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The problem with my 80C535 Development Board, which I will use as a simple 80C535 tester, is that it locks up after some minutes running. The reset circuitry is still use R-C timing.

I would like to replace the reset circuitry with the 3-pin MAX809 which has a precision Vcc monitoring, guaranteed Power On Reset pulse, and guaranteed Reset pulse at brown-out. I hope it can overcome the problem.

If it can not, so I will consider using the internal watchdog timer that come with the 80C535. I will kick the dog at one to three important loops in the program, ( thanks Per, for your advice) and I will see the result.

The dog sleeps at Power on or after an external reset, so we need to insert the instruction at the loop(s) :

clr EN0.6 ; kick the dog
clr EN1.6
...
...
elsewhere subsequently in the loop
....
setb EN0.6 ; toggle
setb EN1.6
....

Please anyone advice, and thank you very much for your attention.
