24.2
The Watchdog Timer is a free-running, on-chip RC
oscillator which does not require any external compo-
nents. This RC oscillator is separate from the RC
oscillator of the OSC1/CLKI pin. That means that the
WDT will run even if the clock on the OSC1/CLKI and
OSC2/CLKO/RA6 pins of the device has been stopped,
for example, by execution of a SLEEP instruction.
During normal operation, a WDT time-out generates a
device Reset (Watchdog Timer Reset). If the device is
in Sleep mode, a WDT time-out causes the device to
wake-up and continue with normal operation (Watch-
dog Timer wake-up). The TO bit in the RCON register
will be cleared upon a WDT time-out.
The Watchdog Timer is enabled/disabled by a device
configuration bit. If the WDT is enabled, software
execution may not disable this function. When the
WDTEN configuration bit is cleared, the SWDTEN bit
enables/disables the operation of the WDT.

The WDT time-out period values may be found in
Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics” under
parameter #31. Values for the WDT postscaler may be
assigned using the configuration bits.
24.2.1
Register 24-15 shows the WDTCON register. This is a
readable and writable register which contains a control
bit that allows software to override the WDT enable
configuration bit, only when the configuration bit has
disabled the WDT.
