Abstract
A watchdog timer device according to one or more embodiments may include a mode setting unit that sets a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the watchdog timer device monitors an operation state of a monitored device and generates an interrupt signal to cause the monitored device to perform recovery processing at a first timeout. In the second mode, the watchdog timer device monitors the recovery processing and generates a reset signal to restart the monitored device at a second timeout. The watchdog timer device uses different logic to execute determining the first timeout in the first mode and determining the second timeout in the second mode.
