The independent watchdog timer (IWDT) within LFSS is a device-independent supervisor which monitors the code execution and overall hang up scenarios. The IWDT is a 25-bit counter with closed and open windows and driven from the LFSOC with a clock path of 32kHz as shown in the Figure 2-5. The IWDT has eight selectable watchdog timer periods. The purpose of IWDT is to replace an external watchdog timer in the system and some safety applications require monitoring by an IWDT. The IWDT primary function is to initiate a full power reset when the timer detects operation failure of the device due to an unexpected software or system delay.
