IP0.6  WDTS 
Watchdog timer status flag. Set when the watchdog timer was started. Can be 
read by software.

Seven bit reload value for the high-byte of the watchdog timer. This value is 
loaded to the WDT when a refresh is triggered by a consecutive setting of bits 
WDT and SWDT.

The WDTREL register can be loaded and read at any time. 
Interrupts 
The 80515 provides 11 interrupt sources with four priority levels. Each source has its own request flag(s) located in a 
special function register (TCON, IRCON, and SCON).
  Each interrupt requested by the corresponding flag can be 
individually enabled or disabled by the enable bits in SFRs IEN0, IEN1, and IEN2. 
External interrupts are the interrupts external to the 80515 core, i.e. signals that originate in other 
parts of the 71M6521DE/DH/FE, for example the CE, DIO, RTC EEPROM interface. 
Interrupt Overview 
When an interrupt occurs, the MPU will vector to the predetermined address as shown in Table 53. Once interrupt 
service has begun, it can be interrupted only by a higher priority interrupt. The interrupt service is terminated by a 
return from instruction, "RETI". When an RETI is performed, the MPU will return to the instruction that would have 
been next when the interrupt occurred. 
When the interrupt condition occurs, the MPU will also indicate this by setting a flag bit. This bit is set regardless of 
whether the interrupt is enabled or disabled. Each interrupt flag is sampled once per machine cycle, then samples are 
polled by the hardware. If the sample indicates a pending interrupt when the interrupt is enabled, then the interrupt 
request flag is set.
