Watchdog Timer

AT83R5122, AT8xC5122/23

The AT83R5122, AT8xC5122/23 microcontrollers contain a powerfull programmable

hardware Watchdog Timer (WDT) that automatically resets the chip if its software fails

to reset the WDT before the selected time interval has elapsed. It permits large timeout

ranking from 4ms to 524ms @ FCK_WD = 24 MHz / X2

This WDT consist of a 14-bit counter plus a 7-bit programmable counter, a Watchdog

Timer reset register (WDTRST) and a Watchdog Timer programmation (WDTPRG) reg-

ister. When exiting the reset, the WDT is, by default, disabled. To activate the WDT, the

user has to write the sequence 1EH and E1H into WDRST register. When the Watchdog

Timer is enabled, it will increment every machine cycle while the oscillator is running

and there is no way to disable the WDT except through reset (either hardware reset or

WDT overflow reset). When WDT overflows, it will generate an output RESET pulse at

the RST pin. The RESET pulse duration is 96xTOSC, where TOSC=1/FOSC. To make the

best use of the WDT, it should be serviced in those sections of code that will periodically

be executed within the time required to prevent a WDT reset.

The WDT is controlled by two registers (WDTRST and WDTPRG).
