Watchdog Timer (WDT)

For PIC16F917/916/914/913, the WDT has been mod-

ified from previous PIC16F devices. The new WDT is

code and functionally compatible with previous PIC16F

WDT modules and adds a 16-bit prescaler to the WDT.

This allows the user to have a scaled value for the WDT

and TMR0 at the same time. In addition, the WDT

time-out value can be extended to 268 seconds. WDT

is cleared under certain conditions described in

Table 16-7.

16.6.1

WDT OSCILLATOR

The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz

LFINTOSC. The LTS bit does not reflect that the

LFINTOSC is enabled.

The value of WDTCON is ‘---0 1000’ on all Resets.

This gives a nominal time base of 16 ms, which is

compatible with the time base generated with previous

PIC16F microcontroller versions.

A new prescaler has been added to the path between

the INTOSC and the multiplexers used to select the

path for the WDT. This prescaler is 16 bits and can be

programmed to divide the INTOSC by 32 to 65536,

giving the WDT a nominal range of 1 ms to 268s.

16.6.2

WDT CONTROL

The WDTE bit is located in the Configuration Word

When the WDTE bit in the Configuration Word register

is set, the SWDTEN bit (WDTCON<0>) has no effect.

If WDTE is clear, then the SWDTEN bit can be used to

enable and disable the WDT. Setting the bit will enable

it and clearing the bit will disable it.

The PSA and PS<2:0> bits (OPTION_REG) have the

same function as in previous versions of the PIC16F

family of microcontrollers. See Section 5.0 “Timer0

Module” for more information.

Note:

When the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)

is invoked, the WDT is held in Reset,

because the WDT Ripple Counter is used

by the OST to perform the oscillator delay

count. When the OST count has expired,

the WDT will begin counting (if enabled).
