10. Watchdog Timer
10.1 General Description
The watchdog timer (WDT) is equipped with the following functions and can detect the runaway state of program or the
undefined state of the CPU by generating an interrupt or reset when an abnormality occurs.
•
If the counter is not cleared for more than a certain time period in program operation and overflows, the WDT
interrupt is generated in the first overflow and the WDT reset in the second overflow (if the window function is
disabled).
•
If the counter is not cleared for more than a certain time period in program operation and overflow occurs, the WDT
reset is generated in the first overflow (if the window function is enabled).
•
If the counter is cleared in the unexpected time period, the WDT invalid clear reset is generated (if the window
function is enabled).
The window function refers to the function through which "the time period during which WDT counter clear is enabled"
= "the time period during which the window is opened" and
"the time period in which WDT counter clear is disabled" = "the time period in which the window is closed" can be set.
