Watchdog Timer
ADC is used. To reduce power consumption in Power-down mode, the user can avoid the three
conditions above to ensure that the reference is turned off before entering Power-down mode.
The Watchdog Timer is clocked from a separate On-chip Oscillator which runs at 1 MHz. This is
the typical value at V
controlling the Watchdog Timer prescaler, the Watchdog Reset interval can be adjusted as
shown in
dog Timer. The Watchdog Timer is also reset when it is disabled and when a Chip Reset occurs.
Eight different clock cycle periods can be selected to determine the reset period. If the reset
period expires without another Watchdog Reset, the ATmega8A resets and executes from the
Reset Vector. For timing details on the Watchdog Reset, refer to
To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog, a special turn-off sequence must be fol-
lowed when the Watchdog is disabled. Refer to the description of the Watchdog Timer Control
Register for details.
