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 WDTE 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

WDTE
Address: FF99H After reset: 9AH/1AH
Note
R/W
Note The WDTE reset value differs depending on the WDTON setting value of the option byte (0080H). To
operate watchdog timer, set WDTON to 1.
WDTON Setting Value WDTE 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 WDTE, an internal reset signal is generated. If the
source clock to the watchdog timer is stopped, however, an internal reset signal is generated
when the source clock to the watchdog timer resumes operation.
2. If a 1-bit memory manipulation instruction is executed for WDTE, an internal reset signal is
generated. If the source clock to the watchdog timer is stopped, however, an internal reset
signal is generated when the source clock to the watchdog timer resumes operation.
3. The value read from WDTE is 9AH/1AH (this differs from the written value (ACH)).
