11.5 Register Description
11.5.1 MCUCSR – MCU Control and Status Register
The MCU Control and Status Register provides information on which reset source caused an MCU Reset.
• Bit 4 – JTRF: JTAG Reset Flag
This bit is set if a reset is being caused by a logic one in the JTAG Reset Register selected by the JTAG instruction
AVR_RESET. This bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.
• Bit 3 – WDRF: Watchdog Reset Flag
This bit is set if a Watchdog Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a logic zero to the
flag.
• Bit 2 – BORF: Brown-out Reset Flag
This bit is set if a Brown-out Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a logic zero to the
flag.
• Bit 1 – EXTRF: External Reset Flag
This bit is set if an External Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.
• Bit 0 – PORF: Power-on Reset Flag
This bit is set if a Power-on Reset occurs. The bit is reset only by writing a logic zero to the flag.
To make use of the Reset Flags to identify a reset condition, the user should read and then reset the MCUCSR as
early as possible in the program. If the register is cleared before another reset occurs, the source of the reset can
be found by examining the Reset Flags.
11.5.2 WDTCR – Watchdog Timer Control Register
• Bits 7:5 – Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega32A and will always read as zero.
• Bit 4 – WDTOE: Watchdog Turn-off Enable
This bit must be set when the WDE bit is written to logic zero. Otherwise, the Watchdog will not be disabled. Once
written to one, hardware will clear this bit after four clock cycles. Refer to the description of the WDE bit for a
Watchdog disable procedure.
• Bit 3 – WDE: Watchdog Enable
When the WDE is written to logic one, the Watchdog Timer is enabled, and if the WDE is written to logic zero, the
Watchdog Timer function is disabled. WDE can only be cleared if the WDTOE bit has logic level one. To disable an
enabled Watchdog Timer, the following procedure must be followed:
