Watchdog Timer Configuration
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is used to generate a variety of output
signals after a user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use
in the prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes
trapped in a deadlock. Under these sorts of circumstances, the timer
will count to zero and the selected outputs will be driven.
Under normal circumstance, you will need to restart the WDT at
regular intervals before the timer counts to zero.
