17.5.8 Register Access Protection
All registers with write-access are optionally write-protected by the peripheral access controller (PAC), except the
following registers:
z Interrupt Flag Status and Clear register (INTFLAG - refer to INTFLAG)
Write-protection is denoted by the Write-Protection property in the register description.
When the CPU is halted in debug mode, all write-protection is automatically disabled.
Write-protection does not apply for accesses through an external debugger. Refer to “PAC – Peripheral Access
Controller” on page 28 for details.
17.5.9 Analog Connections
Not applicable.
17.6 Functional Description
17.6.1 Principle of Operation
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a system for monitoring correct program operation, making it possible to recover from
error situations such as runaway code by issuing a reset. When enabled, the WDT is a constantly running timer that is
configured to a predefined time-out period. Before the end of the time-out period, the WDT should be reconfigured.
The WDT has two modes of operation, normal and window. Additionally, the user can enable Early Warning interrupt
generation in each of the modes. The description for each of the basic modes is given below. The settings in the Control
register (CTRL - refer to CTRL) and the Interrupt Enable register (INTENCLR/SET - refer to INTENCLR) determine the
mode of operation, as illustrated in Table 17-1.
17.6.2 Basic Operation
17.6.2.1 Initialization
The following registers are enable-protected:
z Control register (CTRL - refer to CTRL), except the Enable bit (CTRL.ENABLE)
z Configuration register (CONFIG - refer to CONFIG)
z Early Warning Interrupt Control register (EWCTRL - refer to EWCTRL)
Any writes to these bits or registers when the WDT is enabled or is being enabled (CTRL.ENABLE is one) will be
discarded. Writes to these registers while the WDT is being disabled will be completed after the disabling is complete.
Enable-protection is denoted by the Enable-Protected property in the register description.
Initialization of the WDT can be done only while the WDT is disabled. The WDT is configured by defining the required
Time-Out Period bits in the Configuration register (CONFIG.PER). If window-mode operation is required, the Window
