WATCHDOG TIMER (Cont’d)
The application program must write in the CR reg-
ister at regular intervals during normal operation to
prevent an MCU reset. This downcounter is free-
running: it counts down even if the watchdog is
disabled. The value to be stored in the CR register
must be between FFh and C0h (see
.Watchdog
– The WDGA bit is set (watchdog enabled)
– The T6 bit is set to prevent generating an imme-
– The T[5:0] bits contain the number of increments
Following a reset, the watchdog is disabled. Once
activated it cannot be disabled, except by a reset.
The T6 bit can be used to generate a software re-
set (the WDGA bit is set and the T6 bit is cleared).
If the watchdog is activated, the HALT instruction
will generate a Reset.

Notes:
1. The timing variation shown in
the unknown status of the prescaler when writing
to the CR register.
2. The number of CPU clock cycles applied during
the RESET phase (256 or 4096) must be taken
into account in addition to these timings.
11.1.4 Hardware Watchdog Option
If Hardware Watchdog is selected by option byte,
the watchdog is always active and the WDGA bit in
the CR is not used.
Refer to the Option Byte description in
on page
11.1.4.1 Using Halt Mode with the WDG
(WDGHALT option)
If Halt mode with Watchdog is enabled by option
byte (No watchdog reset on HALT instruction), it is
recommended before executing the HALT instruc-
tion to refresh the WDG counter, to avoid an unex-
pected WDG reset immediately after waking up
the microcontroller. Same behavior in active-halt
mode.
