PRELIMINARY
7.2.2 Watch Dog Timer Output
Watch Dog Timer contains a one minute resolution down counter, CRF2 of Logical Device 8, and two
watch Dog control registers, WDT_CTRL0 and WDT_CTRL1 of Logical Device 8. The down counter
can be programmed within the range from 1 to 255 minutes. Writing any new non-zero value to
CRF2 or reset signal coming from a Mouse interrupt or Keyboard interrupt (CRF2 also contains non-
zero value) will cause the Watch Dog Timer to reload and start to count down from the new value. As
the counter reaches zero, (1) Watch Dog Timer time-out occurs and the bit 0 of WDT_CTRL1 will be
set to logic 1; (2) Watch Dog interrupt output is asserted if the interrupt is enable in CR72 of logical
device 8; and (3) Power LED starts to toggle output if the bit 3 of WDT_CTRL0 is enabled.
WDT_CTRL1 also can be accessed through GP2 I/O base address + 1.
7.2.3 Power LED
The Power LED function provides 1 Hertz rate toggle pulse output with 50 percent duty cycle. Table
7.2.2 shows how to enable Power LED.

7.2.4 General Purpose Address Decoder
General Purpose Address Decoder provides two address decode as AEN equal to logic 0. The
address base is stored at CR62, CR63 of logical device 7 for GP14 and at CR62-65 of logical device
9 for GP32 and GP33. The decoding output is normally active low. Users can alter its polarity
through the polarity bit of the GP14, GP32, and GP33's configuration register.
7.2.5 General Purpose Write Strobe
General Purpose Write Strobe is an address decoder that performs like General Purpose Address
Decoder, but it has to be qualified by IOW and AEN. Its output is normally active low. Users can
alter its polarity through the polarity bit of the GP15's configuration register.
