ST10R172L - WATCHDOG TIMER

WATCHDOG TIMER

The Watchdog Timer is a fail-safe mechanism which limits the malfunction time of the

controller. The Watchdog Timer is always enabled after device reset and can only be disabled

in the time interval until the EINIT (end of initialization) instruction has been executed. In this

way, the chip’s 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 maintain the Watchdog Timer, it will overflow generating an

internal hardware reset and pulling the RSTOUT pin low to reset external hardware

components.

The Watchdog Timer is a 16-bit timer, clocked with the system clock divided either by 2 or by

128. The high byte of the Watchdog Timer register can be set to a pre-specified reload value

(stored in WDTREL) in order to allow further variation of the monitored time interval. Each

time it is serviced by the application software, the high byte of the Watchdog Timer is

reloaded. The table below shows the watchdog time range which for a 50MHz CPU clock

rounded to 3 significant figures.
