12.2.3 Reset Control/Status Register (RSTCSR)
RSTCSR is an 8-bit readable/writable register that controls the generation of the internal reset
signal when TCNT overflows, and selects the type of internal reset signal. RSTCSR is initialized
to H'1F by a reset signal from the RES pin, and not by the WDT internal reset signal caused by
overflows.
Bit Bit Name Initial Value R/W Description
7 WOVF 0 R/(W)
*
Watchdog Overflow Flag
This bit is set when TCNT overflows in watchdog
timer mode. This bit cannot be set in interval timer
mode, and the write value should always be 0.
[Setting condition]
Set when TCNT overflows (changed from
H'FF to H'00) in watchdog timer mode
[Clearing condition]
Cleared by reading RSTCSR when WOVF =
1, and then writing 0 to WOVF
6 RSTE 0 R/W Reset Enable
Specifies whether or not a reset signal is
generated in the chip if TCNT overflows during
watchdog timer operation.
0: Reset signal is not generated even if TCNT
overflows
(Though this LSI is not reset, TCNT and
TCSR in WDT are reset)
1: Reset signal is generated if TCNT overflows
5 RSTS 0 R/W Reset Select
Selects the type of internal reset generated if
TCNT overflows during watchdog timer operation.
0: Power-on reset
1: Setting prohibited
4 to 0 All 1 Reserved
These bits are always read as 1 and cannot be
modified.
Note: * The write value should always be 0 to clear this flag.
