1. These timings are given for a 40 kHz clock but the microcontroller's internal RC frequency can vary from 30
to 60 kHz. Moreover, given an exact RC oscillator frequency, the exact timings still depend on the phasing
of the APB interface clock versus the LSI clock so that there is always a full RC period of uncertainty.
The LSI can be calibrated so as to compute the IWDG timeout with an acceptable accuracy.

The peripheral registers have to be accessed by half-words (16 bits) or words (32 bits).

These bits must be written by software at regular intervals with the key value AAAAh,
otherwise the watchdog generates a reset when the counter reaches 0.
Writing the key value 5555h to enable access to the IWDG_PR and IWDG_RLR registers
(see Section 19.3.2)
Writing the key value CCCCh starts the watchdog (except if the hardware watchdog option is
selected)
