Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration of the Watchdog Timer
Safety Level 1
Safety Level 2
The Wathdog Timer can also be configured to generate an interrupt instead of a reset. This can
be very helpful when using the Watchdog to wake-up from Power-down.
To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog or unintentional change of time-out period,
two different safety levels are selected by the fuse WDTON as shown in
“Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration of the Watchdog Timer” on page 45
details.
Table 8-1.
Figure 8-7.
The sequence for changing configuration differs slightly between the two safety levels. Separate
procedures are described for each level.
In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is initially disabled, but can be enabled by writing the WDE bit
to one without any restriction. A timed sequence is needed when disabling an enabled Watch-
dog Timer. To disable an enabled Watchdog Timer, the following procedure must be followed:
In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is always enabled, and the WDE bit will always read as one. A
timed sequence is needed when changing the Watchdog Time-out period. To change the
Watchdog Time-out, the following procedure must be followed:

1. In the same operation, write a logic one to WDCE and WDE. A logic one must be writ-
2. Within the next four clock cycles, in the same operation, write the WDE and WDP bits
ten to WDE regardless of the previous value of the WDE bit.
