In the first domain, the user (code) can easily check the validity of the clock(s)
Command” on page
In the second domain, the lack of a clock results in the code not running. Thus, the presence
of the system clock needs to be monitored by hardware.
Using the on-chip watchdog allows this monitoring. Normally, the watchdog reloading is per-
formed only if the code reaches some specific software labels, reaching these labels proves
that the system clock is running. Otherwise the watchdog reset is enabled. This behavior can
be considered as a clock monitoring.
If the standard watchdog functionality is not desired, the ATtiny87/167 watchdog permits the
system clock to be monitored without having to resort to the complexity of a full software
watchdog handler. The solution proposed in the ATtiny87/167 is to automate the watchdog
reloading with only one command, at the beginning of the session.
So, to monitor the system clock, the user will have two options:
The two options are exclusive.
Note:
Figure 4-6.
The ‘Enable Watchdog in Automatic Reload Mode’ command has priority over the standard
watchdog enabling. In this mode, only the reset function of the watchdog is enabled (no more
watchdog interrupt). The WDP3..0 bits of the WDTCSR register always determine the watch-
dog timer prescaling.
As the watchdog will not be active before executing the ‘Enable Watchdog in Automatic
Reload Mode’ command, it is recommended to activate this command before switching to an
external clock source (See note on
Notes:
1. Using the standard watchdog features (software reload),
2. Or using the automatic reloading (hardware reload).
Warning:
These two options make sense ONLY if the clock source at RESET is an INTERNAL SOURCE.
The fuse settings determine this operation.
1. ONLY the reset (watchdog reset included) disables this function. The Watchdog System
