Chapter 14: LPC1102 WatchDog Timer (WDT)
14.7.4 Watchdog Timer Value register (WDTV - 0x4000 400C)
The WDTV register is used to read the current value of Watchdog timer.
When reading the value of the 24-bit timer, the lock and synchronization procedure takes
up to 6 WDCLK cycles plus 6 PCLK cycles, so the value of WDTV is older than the actual
value of the timer when it's being read by the CPU.
14.8 Block diagram
The block diagram of the Watchdog is shown below in the
. The synchronization
logic (PCLK/WDCLK) is not shown in the block diagram.
