15.2 CLOCK CONTROL of Watchdog
WD1, WD0: WDCON.5, WDCON.4 - Watchdog Timer Mode select bits. These two bits select the
time-out interval for the watchdog timer. The reset time is 512 clocks longer than the interrupt time-out
value.
The default Watchdog time-out is 2¹⁷ clocks, which is the shortest time-out period. The WDRUN, WD0,
WD1, EWRST, WDIF and WDCLR bits are protected by the Timed Access procedure. This prevents
software from accidentally enabling or disabling the watchdog timer. More importantly, it makes it
highly improbable that errant code can enable or disable the Watchdog Timer.
