8.7 WATCHDOG TIMER
The peripheral section of the 8XC251Sx contains a dedicated, hardware watchdog timer (WDT)
that automatically resets the chip if it is allowed to time out. The WDT provides a means of re-
covering from routines that do not complete successfully due to software malfunctions. The WDT
described in this section is not associated with the PCA watchdog timer, which is implemented
in software.
8.7.1 Description
The WDT is a 14-bit counter that counts peripheral cycles, i.e., the system clock divided by
twelve (F
OSC
/12). The WDTRST special function register at address S:A6H provides control ac-
cess to the WDT. Two operations control the WDT:
•
Device reset clears and disables the WDT (see section 11.4, “Reset”).
•
Writing a specific two-byte sequence to the WDTRST register clears and enables the WDT.
If it is not cleared, the WDT overflows on count 3FFFH + 1. With F
OSC
= 16 MHz, a peripheral
cycle is 750 ns and the WDT overflows in 750 × 16384 = 12.288 ms. The WDTRST is a write-
only register. Attempts to read it return FFH. The WDT itself is not read or write accessible. The
WDT does not drive the external RESET pin.
