Section 11 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
11.3.2 Watchdog Timer Control/Status Register (WTCSR)
WTCSR is an 8-bit readable/writable register composed of bits to select the clock used for the
count, bits to select the timer mode, and overflow flags. WTCSR holds its value in an internal
reset due to the WDT overflow. WTCSR is initialized to H'00 only by a power-on reset using the
RES pin.
When used to count the clock settling time for canceling a software standby, it retains its value
after counter overflow. Use a word access to write to WTCSR, with H'A5 in the upper byte. Use a
byte access to read WTCSR.
Note: WTCSR differs from other registers in that it is more difficult to write to. See section
11.3.3, Notes on Register Access, for details.
