Watchdog Function
Watchdog Timing
Positive edges at the watchdog input pin “WI” are expected within the watchdog trigger time frame t_WI,tr,
otherwise a low signal at pin “WO” is generated. If a watchdog low signal at pin “WO” is generated, it remains
low for t_WD,lo. All watchdog timings are defined by charging and discharging the capacitor C_D at pin “D”. Thus,
the watchdog timing can be programmed by selecting C_D. For timing details see also Figure 12.
In case a watchdog trigger time period t_WI,tr different from the value for C_D = 100nF is required, the delay
capacitor’s value can be derived from the specified value given in Item 8.2.22:
C_D = 100nF × t_WI,tr / t_WI,tr,100nF
(8.4)
The watchdog output low time t_WD,lo and the watchdog period t_WD,p then becomes:
t_WD,lo = t_WD,lo,100nF × C_D / 100nF
(8.5)
t_WD,p = t_WI,tr + t_WD,lo
(8.6)
The formula is valid for C_D ≥ 10nF. For precise timing calculations consider also the delay capacitor’s
tolerance.
