10.4.4 Setting watchdog timer interval interrupt 
Depending on the setting of bit 7 (WDTINT) of an option byte (000C0H), an interval interrupt (INTWDTI) can be 
generated when 75% + 1/2f
IL of the overflow time is reached. 
Table 10-5. Setting of Watchdog Timer Interval Interrupt 
WDTINT  Use of Watchdog Timer Interval Interrupt 
0  Interval interrupt is used. 
1  Interval interrupt is generated when 75% + 1/2fIL of overflow time is reached. 
Caution  When operating with the X1 oscillation clock after releasing the STOP mode, the CPU starts 
operating after the oscillation stabilization time has elapsed. 
Therefore, if the period between the STOP mode release and the watchdog timer overflow is 
short, an overflow occurs during the oscillation stabilization time, causing a reset. 
Consequently, set the overflow time in consideration of the oscillation stabilization time when 
operating with the X1 oscillation clock and when the watchdog timer is to be cleared after the 
STOP mode release by an interval interrupt. 
Remark  The watchdog timer continues counting even after INTWDTI is generated (until ACH is written to the 
watchdog timer enable register (WDTE)). If ACH is not written to the WDTE register before the overflow 
time, an internal reset signal is generated.
