Abstract
A multi-logic device system, an electronic engine controller, and a method of operating the multi-logic device system. The multi-logic device system includes a primary logic device which is more resilient to single event effects, and one or more secondary logic devices, each secondary logic device being powered by a respective power supply unit and being more susceptible to single event effects. The primary logic device is configured to run, for each secondary logic device, a respective watchdog timer. Each watchdog timer is restarted upon receipt of a restart signal from the respective secondary logic device. The primary logic device is also configured, in response to a watchdog timer timing out, to identify and reset the secondary logic device corresponding to the timed out watchdog timer.
