Section 14 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
14.5
Pay attention to the following points when using the WDT in either the interval timer or watchdog
timer mode.
14.5.1
After timer operation has started, the period from the power-on reset point to the first count up
timing of WTCNT varies depending on the time period that is set by the TME bit of WTCSR. The
shortest such time period is thus one cycle of the peripheral clock, Pφ, while the longest is the
result of frequency division according to the value in the CKS[2:0] bits. The timing of subsequent
incrementation is in accord with the selected frequency division ratio. Accordingly, this time
difference is referred to as timer variation.
This also applies to the timing of the first incrementation after WTCNT has been written to during
timer operation.
14.5.2
When the value in WTCNT reaches H'FF, the WDT assumes that an overflow has occurred.
Accordingly, when H'FF is set in WTCNT, an interval timer interrupt or WDT reset will occur
immediately, regardless of the current clock selection by the CKS[2:0] bits.
14.5.3
If the WDTOVF signal is input to the RES pin of this LSI, this LSI cannot be initialized correctly.
Avoid input of the WDTOVF signal to the RES pin of this LSI through glue logic circuits. To
reset the entire system with the WDTOVF signal, use the circuit shown in figure 14.6.
