PRODUCTION DATA.
Program the duration of the watchdog window by connecting an external resistor (ROSC) to ground at the ROSC pin. The current through the resistor sets the clock frequency of the internal oscillator. The user can adjust the duration of the watchdog window (that is, the watchdog timer period) by changing the resistor value. The duration of the watchdog window and the duration of the fault output are multiples of the internal oscillator frequency and are given by the following equations:
where
As shown in Figure 22, each watchdog window consists of an open window and a closed window, each having a width approximately 50% of the watchdog window. However, there is an exception to this; the first open window after watchdog initialization is eight times the duration of the watchdog window. All open windows except the one after watchdog initialization are one-half the width of the watchdog window. On initialization, the watchdog must receive service (by software, external microcontroller, and so forth) only during an open window. A watchdog serviced during a closed window, or not serviced during a open window, creates a watchdog fault condition.
