3.2 Timers and Watchdogs
3.2.1 64bit Timers
There are four general-purpose timers embedded in the chip. They are all 64-bit generic timers which are based
on 16-bit prescalers and 64-bit auto-reload-capable up/down-timers.
The timers feature:
A 16-bit clock prescaler, from 2 to 65536
A 64-bit timer
Configurable up/down timer: incrementing or decrementing
Halt and resume of time-base counter
Auto-reload at alarming
Software-controlled instant reload
Level and edge interrupt generation
3.2.2 Watchdog Timers
The chip has three watchdog timers: one in each of the two timer modules (called the Main Watchdog Timer, or
MWDT) and one in the RTC module (called the RTC Watchdog Timer, or RWDT). These watchdog timers are
intended to recover from an unforeseen fault causing the application program to abandon its normal sequence. A
watchdog timer has four stages. Each stage may trigger one of three or four possible actions upon the expiry of
its programmed time period, unless the watchdog is fed or disabled. The actions are: interrupt, CPU reset, core
reset, and system reset. Only the RWDT can trigger the system reset, and is able to reset the entire chip,
including the RTC itself. A timeout value can be set for each stage individually.
During flash boot the RWDT and the first MWDT start automatically in order to detect, and recover from, booting
problems.
The watchdogs have the following features:
Four stages, each of which can be configured or disabled separately
A programmable time period for each stage
