6.9 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
6.9.1
NuMicro M051
The purpose of Watchdog Timer is to perform a system reset when system runs into an unknown
state. This prevents system from hanging for an infinite period of time. Besides, this Watchdog
Timer supports another function to wakeup CPU from power-down mode. The watchdog timer
includes a 18-bit free running counter with programmable time-out intervals. Table 6.9-1 shows
the watchdog timeout interval selection and Figure 6.9-1 shows the timing of watchdog interrupt
signal and reset signal.
Setting WTE (WDTCR [7]) enables the watchdog timer and the WDT counter starts counting up.
When the counter reaches the selected time-out interval, Watchdog timer interrupt flag WTIF will
be set immediately to request a WDT interrupt if the watchdog timer interrupt enable bit WTIE is
set, in the meanwhile, a specified delay time (1024 * T
set WTR (WDTCR [0]) (Watchdog timer reset) high to reset the 18-bit WDT counter to avoid CPU
from Watchdog timer reset before the delay time expires. WTR bit is cleared automatically by
hardware after WDT counter is reset. There are eight time-out intervals with specific delay time
which are selected by Watchdog timer interval select bits WTIS (WDTCR [10:8]). If the WDT
counter has not been cleared after the specific delay time expires, the watchdog timer will set
Watchdog Timer Reset Flag (WTRF) high and reset CPU. This reset will last 63 WDT clocks
(T
cleared by Watchdog reset. User may poll WTFR by software to recognize the reset source. WDT
also provides wakeup function. When chip is powered down and the Watchdog Timer Wakeup
Function Enable bit (WDTR[4]) is set, if the WDT counter has not been cleared after the specific
delay time expires, the chip will be waken up from power down state.
