Bits 31:12 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

RL[11:0]:
Watchdog counter reload value
These bits are write access protected see
Section 26.3.5: Register access protection
. They
are written by software to define the value to be loaded in the watchdog counter each time the
value 0xAAAA is written in the IWDG_KR register. The watchdog counter counts down from
this value. The timeout period is a function of this value and the clock prescaler. Refer to the
datasheet for the timeout information.
The RVU bit in the IWDG_SR register must be reset in order to be able to change the reload
value.
Note: Reading this register returns the reload value from the VDD voltage domain. This value
may not be up to date/valid if a write operation to this register is ongoing on this
register. For this reason the value read from this register is valid only when the RVU bit
in the IWDG_SR register is reset.
