13-bit prescaler, and an 8-bit down counter. The down counter is clocked (decremented)
by a tap taken from the prescaler. The clock source for the prescaler is either PCLK or the
watchdog oscillator selected by the WDCLK bit in the WDCON register. (Note that
switching of the clock sources will not take effect immediately - see
The watchdog asserts the watchdog reset when the watchdog count underflows and the
watchdog reset is enabled. When the watchdog reset is enabled, writing to WDL or
WDCON must be followed by a feed sequence for the new values to take effect.
If a watchdog reset occurs, the internal reset is active for at least one watchdog clock
cycle (PCLK or the watchdog oscillator clock). If CCLK is still running, code execution will
begin immediately after the reset cycle. If the processor was in Power-down mode, the
watchdog reset will start the oscillator and code execution will resume after the oscillator
is stable.

can be used to generate an interrupt. WDSE has no effect.
0 The watchdog reset is enabled. The user can set WDCLK to choose the clock
source.
1 The watchdog reset is enabled, along with additional safety features:
1. WDCLK is forced to 1 (using watchdog oscillator)
2. WDCON and WDL register can only be written once
3. WDRUN is forced to 1
