9.0 WINDOWED WATCHDOG
TIMER (WWDT)
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a system timer that
generates a Reset if the firmware does not issue a
CLRWDT instruction within the time-out period. The
Watchdog Timer is typically used to recover the system
from unexpected events. The Windowed Watchdog
Timer (WDT) differs in that CLRWDT instructions are
only accepted when they are performed within a
specific window during the time-out period.
The WDT has the following features:
• Selectable clock source
• Multiple operating modes
- WDT is always on
- WDT is off when in Sleep
- WDT is controlled by software
- WDT is always off
• Configurable time-out period is from 1 ms to 256
seconds (nominal)
• Configurable window size from 12.5 to 100
percent of the time-out period
• Multiple Reset conditions
• Operation during Sleep
