Watchdog timer

The watchdog timer can be used to detect an out-of-control microprocessor. The user

programs the watchdog timer by setting the desired amount of timeout into the Watchdog

order bits RB1-RB0 select the resolution, where 00 = 1/16 second, 01 = 1/4 second, 10 = 1

second, and 11 = 4 seconds. The amount of timeout is then determined to be the

multiplication of the five-bit multiplier value with the resolution. (For example: writing

00001110 in the watchdog register = 3*1 or 3 seconds).

Note:

Accuracy of timer is within ± the selected resolution.

If the processor does not reset the timer within the specified period, the M48T201Y/V sets

the WDF (watchdog flag) and generates a watchdog interrupt or a microprocessor reset.

WDF is reset by reading the flag register (address 7FFF0h).

The most significant bit of the watchdog register is the watchdog steering bit (WDS). When

set to a '0', the watchdog will activate the IRQ/FT pin when timed-out. When WDS is set to a

'1,' the watchdog will output a negative pulse on the RST pin for tREC. The watchdog register

and the AFE, SQWE, ABE, and FT bits will reset to a '0' at the end of a watchdog timeout

when the WDS bit is set to a '1.'

The watchdog timer can be reset by two methods:

a transition (high-to-low or low-to-high) can be applied to the watchdog input pin (WDI)

the microprocessor can perform a WRITE of the watchdog register.

The timeout period then starts over. The WDI pin should be tied to VSS if not used. The

watchdog will be reset on each transition (edge) seen by the WDI pin.
