15.4.2.6 eQEP Watchdog
The eQEP peripheral contains a 16-bit watchdog timer that monitors the quadrature-clock to indicate
proper operation of the motion-control system. The eQEP watchdog timer is clocked from
SYSCLKOUT/64 and the quadrate clock event (pulse) resets the watchdog timer. If no quadrature-clock
event is detected until a period match (QWDPRD = QWDTMR), then the watchdog timer will time out and
the watchdog interrupt flag will be set (QFLG[WTO]). The time-out value is programmable through the
watchdog period register (QWDPRD).
