In microcontroller architecture, what is the purpose of the watchdog timer?To prevent unauthorized access to memoryTo synchronize the operation of multiple peripheralsTo reset the microcontroller in case of a system malfunctionTo regulate the clock frequency based on temperature fluctuations

Which out of the following is the KEY function of the  Watchdog timer in MSP430 MCU?(In other words, The WDT was designed for some functions, what is the key function?)Select one:control the compare modereset the CPU when it  has software troublesall of the otherswake up the CPU from a low power modecontrol the capture mode

Which of the following functions is typically performed by timer/counter modules in microcontrollers?Converting analog signals to digital signalsGenerating precise time delays and intervalsControlling the power supply voltageHandling interrupts from external devices

What is the purpose of a "watch" or "watchpoint" feature in a debugger?Group of answer choicesTo monitor the value of a variable and pause execution when it changes.To set a breakpoint on a specific line of code.To set a breakpoint on a specific line of code.To automatically refactor the code.

Describe the role of computers internal clock

When designing a microcontroller-based system, why is it important to consider the clock frequency?To determine the maximum voltage supplyTo calculate the size of the memory moduleTo synchronize data transfer between componentsTo ensure proper timing for executing instructions
