Bits 31:3 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 2:0
PR[2:0]:
Prescaler divider
These bits are write access protected see
Section 26.3.5: Register access protection
. They are
written by software to select the prescaler divider feeding the counter clock. PVU bit of
IWDG_SR must be reset in order to be able to change the prescaler divider.
000: divider /4
001: divider /8
010: divider /16
011: divider /32
100: divider /64
101: divider /128
110: divider /256
111: divider /256
Note: Reading this register returns the prescaler value from the VDD voltage domain. This
value may not be up to date/valid if a write operation to this register is ongoing. For this
reason the value read from this register is valid only when the PVU bit in the IWDG_SR
register is reset.
