Bits 7:4 – WINDOW[3:0] Window Mode Time-Out Period
In window mode, these bits determine the watchdog closed window period as a number of oscillator
cycles.
These bits are loaded from NVM User Row at start-up. Refer to NVM User Row Mapping for more details.

Bits 3:0 – PER[3:0] Time-Out Period
These bits determine the watchdog time-out period as a number of GCLK_WDT clock cycles. In window
mode operation, these bits define the open window period.
These bits are loaded from NVM User Row at start-up. Refer to NVM User Row Mapping for more details.
