The watchdog timer circuit is used to monitor the activity of the
microprocessor to check that it is not stalled in an indefinite loop.
An output line on the processor is used to toggle the watchdog
input (WDI) line. If this line is not toggled within the timeout

signal to the microprocessor whenever the VCC input is below
the reset threshold. The actual reset threshold voltage is dependent
on whether a P, R, S, or T suffix device is used. An internal timer
holds the reset output active for 200 ms after the voltage on VCC
rises above the threshold. This is intended as a power-on reset
signal for the microprocessor. It allows time for both the power
supply and the microprocessor to stabilize after power-up. If a
power supply brownout or interruption occurs, the reset line is
similarly activated and remains active for 200 ms after the supply
recovers. If another interruption occurs during an active reset
period, the reset timeout period continues for an additional 200 ms.
on the processor. Therefore, if the watchdog timer times out, an
interrupt is generated. The interrupt service routine is used to
rectify the problem.
The watchdog timer is cleared either by a high-to-low or by a
low-to-high transition on WDI. Pulses as narrow as 50 ns are
