17 - WATCHDOG TIMER

The Watchdog Timer is a fail-safe mechanism which prevents the microcontroller from malfunctioning for

long periods of time.

The Watchdog Timer is always enabled after a reset of the chip and can only be disabled in the time

interval until the EINIT (end of initialization) instruction has been executed.

Therefore, the chip start-up procedure is always monitored. The software must be designed to service the

watchdog timer before it overflows. If, due to hardware or software related failures, the software fails to do

so, the watchdog timer overflows and generates an internal hardware reset. It pulls the RSTOUT pin low

in order to allow external hardware components to be reset.

Each of the different reset sources is indicated in the WDTCON register.

The indicated bits are cleared with the EINIT instruction. The origine of the reset can be identified during

the initialization phase.

WDTCON (FFAEh / D7h)

SFR

Reset Value: 00xxh

Notes: 1. More than one reset indication flag may be set. After EINIT, all flags are cleared.

2. Power-on is detected when a rising edge from VDD = 0 V to VDD > 2.0 V is recognized on the internal 3.3V supply.

3. These bits cannot be directly modified by software.
