Caution When operation of the watch timer and 5-bit counter operation is enabled by setting bit 0
(WTM0) of the watch timer mode control register (WTM) to 1, the interval until the first interrupt
request (INTWT) is generated after the register is set does not exactly match the watch timer
interrupt time (0.5 s). This is because there is a delay of one 9-bit pre-scaler output cycle until
the 5-bit counter starts counting. Subsequently, however, the INTWT signal is generated at the
specified intervals.
