  • Page 64 Installing the Board 3.4.4.3 Dual Stage Watchdog Enabling the Programmable Watchdog To enable the programmable watchdog, first unlock the enable bit by clearing the lock bit in register n92h (bit 2), then set the bit WDEN (bit 7) in register n96h and relock it by setting the lock bit in register n92 (bit 2).
  • Page 65 Technical Reference manual A variable refresh is possible as shown below: n96h Watchdog internal counter value 8.6 ms 8.6 ms The programmable watchdog can be viewed as a decrementing counter that is initialized by a write to register n96h (n = 1, 2 or 3). The processor must initialize the counter to prevent it from reaching count 0 (timeout).
  • Page 66 Installing the Board Time-out The programmable watchdog has two stages: the first stage has a variable time-out while the second stage has a fixed one. The first stage time-out is chosen at runtime from eight preset values (see table below). The first stage time-out generates an NMI interrupt (if enabled in register n96h, bit 7).
