Bit 3 - WDE: Watch Dog Enable
When the WDE is set (one) the Watchdog Timer is enabled, and if the WDE is cleared (zero) the Watchdog Timer function
is disabled. WDE can only be cleared if the WDTOE bit is set(one). To disable an enabled watchdog timer, the following
procedure must be followed:
1.
In the same operation, write a logical one to WDTOE and WDE. A logical one must be written to WDE even though
it is set to one before the disable operation starts.
2.
Within the next four clock cycles, write a logical 0 to WDE. This disables the watchdog.

Bits 2..0 - WDP2, WDP1, WDP0: Watch Dog Timer Prescaler 2, 1 and 0
The WDP2, WDP1 and WDP0 bits determine the Watchdog Timer prescaling when the Watchdog Timer is enabled. The
different prescaling values and their corresponding time-out Periods are shown inTable 16. .
Note:
The frequency of the watchdog oscillator is voltage dependent as shown in the Electrical Characteristics section.
The WDR - Watchdog Reset - instruction should always be executed before the Watchdog Timer is enabled. This ensures that
the reset period will be in accordance with the Watchdog Timer prescale settings. If the Watchdog Timer is enabled without
reset, the watchdog timer may not start counting from zero.
