Watchdog Timer Control

• Bits 7..5 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega8515 and will always read as zero.
• Bit 4 – WDCE: Watchdog Change Enable
This bit must be set when the WDE bit is written to logic zero. Otherwise, the Watchdog
will not be disabled. Once written to one, hardware will clear this bit after four clock
cycles. Refer to the description of the WDE bit for a Watchdog disable procedure. In
Safety Levels 1 and 2, this bit must also be set when changing the prescaler bits. See
“Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration of the Watchdog Timer” on page 53.
• Bit 3 – WDE: Watchdog Enable
When the WDE is written to logic one, the Watchdog Timer is enabled, and if the WDE is
written to logic zero, the Watchdog Timer function is disabled. WDE can only be cleared
if the WDCE bit has logic level one. To disable an enabled Watchdog Timer, the follow-
ing procedure must be followed:
