To help the watchdog timer monitor software execution
more closely, set and reset the watchdog input at different
points in the program, rather than “pulsing” the watchdog
input high-low-high or low-high-low. This technique avoids
a “stuck” loop, in which the watchdog timer would contin-
ue to be reset within the loop, keeping the watchdog from
timing out. Figure 15 shows an example of a flow diagram
where the I/O driving the watchdog input is set high at the
beginning of the program, set low at the beginning of
every subroutine or loop, then set high again when the
program returns to the beginning. If the program should
“hang” in any subroutine, the problem would quickly be
corrected, since the I/O is continually set low and the
watchdog timer is allowed to time out, triggering a reset or
an interrupt. As described in the Watchdog Input Current
section, this scheme results in higher average WDI input
current than does the method of leaving WDI low for the
majority of the timeout period and periodically pulsing it
low-high-low.
