11 ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS

11.1 WATCHDOG TIMER (WDG)

11.1.1 Introduction

The Watchdog timer is used to detect the occur-

rence of a software fault, usually generated by ex-

ternal interference or by unforeseen logical condi-

tions, which causes the application program to

abandon its normal sequence. The Watchdog cir-

cuit generates an MCU reset on expiry of a pro-

grammed time period, unless the program refresh-

es the counter’s contents before the T6 bit be-

comes cleared.

11.1.2 Main Features

Programmable free-running downcounter (64

increments of 16000 CPU cycles)

Programmable reset

Reset (if watchdog activated) when the T6 bit

reaches zero

Optional

reset

HALT

instruction

(configurable by option byte)

Hardware Watchdog selectable by option byte

11.1.3 Functional Description

The counter value stored in the CR register (bits

T[6:0]), is decremented every 16000 machine cy-

cles, and the length of the timeout period can be

programmed by the user in 64 increments.

If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set)

and when the 7-bit timer (bits T[6:0]) rolls over

from 40h to 3Fh (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates

a reset cycle pulling low the reset pin for typically

36µs.
