13.3.2 Interval Timer Mode
To use the WDT as an interval timer, clear WT/IT to 0 and set TME to 1 in TCSR. An interval
timer interrupt (ITI) is generated each time the timer counter overflows. This function can be used
to generate interval timer interrupts at regular intervals (figure 13.5).

13.3.3 Timing of Setting the Overflow Flag (OVF)
In interval timer mode, when TCNT overflows, the OVF flag of TCSR is set to 1 and an interval
timer interrupt (ITI) is simultaneously requested (figure 13.6).
