Dear friends,
I am developing an In Car security system using PIC16F886 but facing random failure
I am new to automotive design and I am using a traditional 7805 regulator to power up a PIC16F886 mcu and some sensors.
Everything works fine but after running few days, randomly crashes the PIC16F886 due to failure of flash memory. Again programming works fine. It is noticed that sometimes the PIC's EEPROM memory also losses.
Did I need some filtering and protection in my power supply ?
I think, it crashes while starting car. Did I need to power up PIC MCU after Ignition using some circuit ?
Thanks in advance
