Note that the 8-bit offset held in PCA0CPH2 is compared to the upper byte of the 16-bit PCA counter. This
offset value is the number of PCA0L overflows before a reset. Up to 256 PCA clocks may pass before the
first PCA0L overflow occurs, depending on the value of the PCA0L when the update is performed. The
total offset is then given (in PCA clocks) by Equation 16.4, where PCA0L is the value of the PCA0L register
at the time of the update.
Offset = (256 × PCA0CPL2) + (256 – PCA0L)
Equation 16.4. Watchdog Timer Offset in PCA Clocks
The WDT reset is generated when PCA0L overflows while there is a match between PCA0CPH2 and
PCA0H. Software may force a WDT reset by writing a ‘1’ to the CCF2 flag (PCA0CN.2) while the WDT is
enabled.
16.3.2. Watchdog Timer Usage
To configure the WDT, perform the following tasks:
• Disable the WDT by writing a ‘0’ to the WDTE bit.
• Select the desired PCA clock source (with the CPS2–CPS0 bits).
• Load PCA0CPL2 with the desired WDT update offset value.
• Configure the PCA Idle mode (set CIDL if the WDT should be suspended while the CPU is in Idle
mode).
• Enable the WDT by setting the WDTE bit to ‘1’.
• Reload the WDT by writing any value to PCA0CPH2.
The PCA clock source and Idle mode select cannot be changed while the WDT is enabled. The Watchdog
Timer is enabled by setting the WDTE or WDLCK bits in the PCA0MD register. When WDLCK is set, the
WDT cannot be disabled until the next system reset. If WDLCK is not set, the WDT is disabled by clearing
the WDTE bit.
The WDT is enabled following any reset. The PCA0 counter clock defaults to the system clock divided by
12, PCA0L defaults to 0x00, and PCA0CPL2 defaults to 0x00. Using Equation 16.4, this results in a WDT
timeout interval of 3072 system clock cycles. Table 16.3 lists some example timeout intervals for typical
system clocks, assuming SYSCLK / 12 as the PCA clock source.
