Section 14 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
14.4.3 Using Watchdog Timer Mode
1. Set the WT/IT bit in WTCSR to 1, the type of count clock in the CKS[2:0] bits in WTCSR,
whether this LSI is to be reset internally or not in the RSTE bit in WRCSR, the reset type if it
is generated in the RSTS bit in WRCSR, and the initial value of the counter in WTCNT.
2. Set the TME bit in WTCSR to 1 to start the count in watchdog timer mode.
3. While operating in watchdog timer mode, rewrite the counter periodically to H'00 to prevent
the counter from overflowing.
4. When the counter overflows, the WDT sets the WOVF flag in WRCSR to 1, and the
WDTOVF signal is output externally (figure 14.4). The WDTOVF signal can be used to reset
the system. The WDTOVF signal is output for 64 × Pφ clock cycles.
5. If the RSTE bit in WRCSR is set to 1, a signal to reset the inside of this LSI can be generated
simultaneously with the WDTOVF signal. Either power-on reset or manual reset can be
selected for this interrupt by the RSTS bit in WRCSR. The internal reset signal is output for
128 × Pφ clock cycles.
6. When a WDT overflow reset is generated simultaneously with a reset input on the RES pin,
the RES pin reset takes priority, and the WOVF bit in WRCSR is cleared to 0.
