Watchdog Timer (WDT)

The watchdog timer is a free running on-chip dedicated

oscillator, which does not require any external compo-

nents. The WDT will run, even if the clock on the OSC1/

CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT pins of the device has

been stopped, for example, by execution of a SLEEP

instruction.

During normal operation, a WDT time-out generates a

device RESET (Watchdog Timer Reset). If the device is

in SLEEP mode, a WDT time-out causes the device to

wake-up and resume normal operation (Watchdog

Timer Wake-up).

The WDT can be permanently disabled by clearing

configuration bit WDTE (Section 13.1).

13.8.1

WDT PERIOD

The WDT has a nominal time-out period of 18 ms

(parameter #31, TWDT). The time-out periods vary with

temperature, VDD and process variations. If longer

time-out periods are desired, a prescaler with a division

ratio of up to 1:128 can be assigned to the WDT under

software control by writing to the OPTION register.

Time-out periods up to 128 TWDT can be realized.

The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions clear the WDT

and the postscaler, if assigned to the WDT. In addition,

the SLEEP instruction prevents the WDT from generat-

ing a reset, but will allow the WDT to wake the device

from sleep mode.

The TO bit in the STATUS register will be cleared upon

a WDT time-out.

13.8.2

WDT PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS

It should also be taken into account that under worst

case conditions (VDD = Min., Temperature = Max., and

max. WDT prescaler) it may take several seconds

before a WDT time-out occurs.

SUMMARY OF WATCHDOG TIMER REGISTERS

Note:

When a CLRWDT instruction is executed

and the prescaler is assigned to the WDT,

the prescaler count will be cleared, but the

prescaler assignment is not changed.
