WATCHDOG TIMER
14.2 Operation description
14.2 Operation description
The operations of the watchdog timer are described below.
14.2.1 Basic operation
ꢀ Watchdog timer starts counting down from “FFF16.”
ꢀ When the watchdog timer’s most significant bit becomes “0” (counted 2048 times), a watchdog timer
interrupt request occurs. (See Table 14.2.1.)
ꢀ When the interrupt request occurs in above ꢀ, a value of “FFF16” is set to the watchdog timer.
A watchdog timer interrupt is a non-maskable interrupt. When a watchdog timer interrupt request is accepted,
the processor interrupt priority level (IPL) is set to “111 .”
