has logic level one. To disable an enabled Watchdog Timer, the following procedure must be
followed:
• Bits 2:0 – WDP2, WDP1, WDP0: Watchdog Timer Prescaler 2, 1, and 0
The WDP2, WDP1, and WDP0 bits determine the Watchdog Timer prescaling when the Watch-
dog Timer is enabled. The different prescaling values and their corresponding Timeout Periods
are shown in
Table 10-1.
The following code example shows one assembly and one C function for turning off the WDT.
The example assumes that interrupts are controlled (for example, by disabling interrupts glob-
ally) so that no interrupts will occur during execution of these functions.
1. In the same operation, write a logic one to WDCE and WDE. A logic one must be writ-
2. Within the next four clock cycles, write a logic 0 to WDE. This disables the Watchdog.
