Window watchdog (WWDG)
Introduction
The window watchdog is used to detect the occurrence of a software fault, usually
generated by external interference or by unforeseen logical conditions, which causes the
application program to abandon its normal sequence. The watchdog circuit generates an
MCU reset on expiry of a programmed time period, unless the program refreshes the
contents of the downcounter before the T6 bit becomes cleared. An MCU reset is also
generated if the 7-bit downcounter value (in the control register) is refreshed before the
downcounter has reached the window register value. This implies that the counter must be
refreshed in a limited window.
Main features
Functional description
The counter value stored in the WDGCR register (bits T[6:0]), is decremented every 16384
f
in 64 increments.
If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set) and when the 7-bit downcounter (T[6:0]
bits) rolls over from 40h to 3Fh (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates a reset cycle pulling low the
reset pin for typically 30µs. If the software reloads the counter while the counter is greater
than the value stored in the window register, then a reset is generated.
