— SWDTPS<4:0> WDTWINEN WDTCLR
Legend: y = Values set from Configuration bits on POR
R = Readable bit W = Writable bit U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
-n = Value at POR ‘1’ = Bit is set ‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
bit 31-16 Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’
bit 15 ON: Watchdog Timer Enable bit
(1,2)
1 = Enables the WDT if it is not enabled by the device configuration
0 = Disable the WDT if it was enabled in software
bit 14-7 Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’
bit 6-2 SWDTPS<4:0>: Shadow Copy of Watchdog Timer Postscaler Value from Device Configuration bits
On reset, these bits are set to the values of the WDTPS <4:0> of Configuration bits.
bit 1 WDTWINEN: Watchdog Timer Window Enable bit
1 = Enable windowed Watchdog Timer
0 = Disable windowed Watchdog Timer
bit 0 WDTCLR: Watchdog Timer Reset bit
1 = Writing a ‘1’ will clear the WDT
0 = Software cannot force this bit to a ‘0’
Note 1: A read of this bit results in a ‘1’ if the Watchdog Timer is enabled by the device configuration or software.
2: When using the 1:1 PBCLK divisor, the user’s software should not read or write the peripheral’s SFRs in
the SYSCLK cycle immediately following the instruction that clears the module’s ON bit.
