18 Watchdog Timer
Watchdog Timer (WDT) is intended as a recovery method in situations (such as power noise/glitches and
electrostatic discharge) where the CPU may be subjected to software upset. When software upset happens, the
WDT will protects the system from incorrect code execution by causing a system reset. The WDT consists of a
15-bit free-running counter, an 8-bit prescaler and a control register (WDTCR). Figure 18-1 shows the WDT block
diagram.

18.1 WDT Control Register
WDTCR (Address=E1H, Watch-Dog-Timer Control Register, Power-on Reset Value=0x00,0000B)
WRF: WDT reset flag. When WDT overflows, this bit is set by H/W. It should be cleared by software.
ENW: WDT enable bit. Set to enable WDT.
CLRW: WDT clear bit. Writing “1” to this bit will clear the 15-bit WDT counter to 0000H. Note this bit has no need
to be cleared by writing “0”.
WIDL: WDT in Idle mode. Set this bit to let WDT keep counting while the MCU is in the Idle mode.
PS2~PS0: Prescaler select bits.
