6.9.7 Watchdog Timer (WDT_A)
The primary function of the WDT_A module is to perform a controlled system restart if a software problem
occurs. If the selected time interval expires, a system reset is generated. If the watchdog function is not
needed in an application, the module can be configured as an interval timer and can generate interrupts at
selected time intervals.
CAUTION
The WDT must be set to interval mode before transitioning into the LPM3 or
LPM3.5 modes of operation. This allows the WDT event to wake the device
and return it to active modes of operation. Using the WDT in watchdog mode
may result in nondeterministic behavior due to the generated reset.
The watchdog can generate a reset on either a time-out or a password violation. This reset can be
configured to generate either a Hard Reset or a Soft Reset into the system. See the MSP432P4xx Family
Technical Reference Manual for more details. The WDT should typically be configured to generate a Hard
reset into the system. A Soft reset resets the CPU but leaves the rest of the system and peripherals
unaffected. As a result, if the WDT is configured to generate a Soft reset, the application should assume
responsibility for the fact that a Soft reset can corrupt an ongoing transaction from the CPU into the
system.
Table 6-50 lists the clocks that can be selected as the source for the WDT_A module.

6.9.8 ADC14
The ADC14 module supports 14-bit analog-to-digital conversions up to 1 Msps sampling rate with
differential and single-ended inputs. The module implements a 14-bit SAR core, sample and hold circuit,
reference generator and a conversion result buffer. The window comparators with a lower and upper limit
allow CPU independent result monitoring through different window comparator interrupt flags.
