14 ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS
14.1 WATCHDOG TIMER (WDG)
14.1.1 Introduction
The Watchdog timer is used to detect the occur-
rence of a software fault, usually generated by ex-
ternal interference or by unforeseen logical condi-
tions, which causes the application program to
abandon its normal sequence. The Watchdog cir-
cuit generates an MCU reset on expiry of a pro-
grammed time period, unless the program refresh-
es the counter’s contents before the T6 bit be-
comes cleared.

14.1.3 Functional Description
The counter value stored in the CR register (bits
T[6:0]), is decremented every 12,288 machine cy-
cles, and the length of the timeout period can be
programmed by the user in 64 increments.
If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set)
and when the 7-bit timer (bits T[6:0]) rolls over
from 40h to 3Fh (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates
a reset cycle pulling low the reset pin for typically
500ns.
