10.3 Register Controlling Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer is controlled by the watchdog timer enable register (WDTE).
(1) Watchdog timer enable register (WDTE)
Writing “ACH” to the WDTE register clears the watchdog timer counter and starts counting again.
This register can be set by an 8-bit memory manipulation instruction.
Reset signal generation sets this register to 9AH or 1AH

R/W
Note The WDTE register reset value differs depending on the WDTON bit setting value of the option
byte (000C0H). To operate watchdog timer, set the WDTON bit to 1.
WDTON Bit Setting Value WDTE Register Reset Value
0 (watchdog timer count operation disabled) 1AH
1 (watchdog timer count operation enabled) 9AH
Cautions 1. If a value other than “ACH” is written to the WDTE register, an internal reset signal
is generated.
2. If a 1-bit memory manipulation instruction is executed for the WDTE register, an
internal reset signal is generated.
3. The value read from the WDTE register is 9AH/1AH (this differs from the written
value (ACH)).
