13 ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS

13.1 WATCHDOG TIMER (WDG)

13.1.1 Introduction

The Watchdog timer is used to detect the occur-

rence of a software fault, usually generated by ex-

ternal interference or by unforeseen logical condi-

tions, which causes the application program to

abandon its normal sequence. The Watchdog cir-

cuit generates an MCU reset on expiry of a pro-

grammed time period, unless the program refresh-

es the counter’s contents before the T6 bit be-

comes cleared.

13.1.2 Main Features

■ Programmable timer (64 increments of 12288

CPU cycles)

■ Programmable reset

■ Reset (if watchdog activated) after a HALT

instruction or when the T6 bit reaches zero

■ Hardware Watchdog selectable by option byte

■ Watchdog Reset indicated by status flag (in

versions with Safe Reset option only)

13.1.3 Functional Description

The counter value stored in the CR register (bits

T[6:0]), is decremented every 12288 machine cy-

cles, and the length of the timeout period can be

programmed by the user in 64 increments.

If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set)

and when the 7-bit timer (bits T[6:0]) rolls over

from 40h to 3Fh (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates

a reset cycle pulling low the RESET pin for typical-

ly 30µs.
