WDT during Power-down and
Idle
46
TS8xC51Rx2
Reset value XXXX X000
In Power-down mode the oscillator stops, which means the WDT also stops. While in
Power-down mode the user does not need to service the WDT. There are 2 methods of
exiting Power-down mode: by a hardware reset or via a level activated external interrupt
which is enabled prior to entering Power-down mode. When Power-down is exited with
hardware reset, servicing the WDT should occur as it normally should whenever the
TS80C51Rx2 is reset. Exiting Power-down with an interrupt is significantly different. The
interrupt is held low long enough for the oscillator to stabilize. When the interrupt is
brought high, the interrupt is serviced. To prevent the WDT from resetting the device
while the interrupt pin is held low, the WDT is not started until the interrupt is pulled high.
It is suggested that the WDT be reset during the interrupt service routine.
To ensure that the WDT does not overflow within a few states of exiting of powerdown, it
is best to reset the WDT just before entering powerdown.
In the Idle mode, the oscillator continues to run. To prevent the WDT from resetting the
TS80C51Rx2 while in Idle mode, the user should always set up a timer that will periodi-
cally exit Idle, service the WDT, and re-enter Idle mode.
