PRODUCTION DATA
When the device releases the nRSTOUT pin, the watchdog starts with the Long Window. This Long Window has a time interval (tLONG_WINDOW) with a default value set in bits WD_LONGWIN[7:0].
As long as the watchdog is in the Long Window, the MCU can configure the watchdog through the following register bits:
The device keeps the above register bit values configured by the MCU as long as the device is powered.
The MCU can configure the time interval of the Long Window (tLONG_WINDOW) with the WD_LONGWIN[7:0] bits. The WD_LONGWIN[7:0] bits are defined as:
Use Equation 4 and Equation 5 to calculate the minimum and maximum values for the Long Window (tLONG_WINDOW) time interval when WD_LONGWIN[7:0] > 0x00:
When the MCU clears bit WD_EN, the watchdog goes out of the Long Window and disables the watchdog. When the watchdog is disabled in this way, the MCU can set bit WD_EN back to ‘1’ to enable the watchdog again, and the MCU can control the ENABLE_DRV bit when no other error-flags are set. The MCU must clear bit WD_PWRHOLD before setting bit WD_EN back to ‘1’ to start the watchdog in Long Window.
The watchdog locks the following configuration register bits when it goes out of the Long Window and starts the first watchdog sequence:
