DETAILED DESCRIPTION
IMPLEMENTED WINDOW-WATCHDOG SETTINGS
There are two different ways to set up the watchdog window. The first way is to use the implemented timing
which is a default setting. Or, the default settings can be activated by wiring the WDT and WDR pin to V
DD
or
GND. There is a total of four different timings available with these settings. They are listed in the table below.
SELECTED OPERATION MODE WINDOW FRAME LOWER WINDOW FRAME
Max = 0.3 s Max = 9.46 ms
WDR = 0 V Typ = 0.25 s Typ = 7.86 ms
Min = 0.2 s Min = 6.27 ms

Min = 2 s Min = 15.6 ms
To visualize the values named in the table, a timing diagram was prepared. It is used to describe the upper and
lower boundary settings. For an application, the important boundaries are the t
boundary,max
and t
window,min
. Within
these values, the watchdog timer should be retriggered to avoid a timeout condition or a boundary violation in the
event of a trigger pulse in the lower boundary. The values in the table above are typical and worst case
conditions. They are valid over the whole temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
In the shaded area of Figure 7, it cannot be predicted if the device will detect a violation or not and release a
reset. This is also the case between the boundary tolerance of t
boundary,min
and t
boundary,max
as well as between
t
window,min
and t
window,max
. It is important to set up the trigger pulses accordingly to avoid violations in these areas.

TIMING RULES OF WINDOW-WATCHDOG
After the reset of the supervisor is released, the lower boundary of the first WDI window is disabled. However,
after the first WDI pulse low-to-high transition is detected, the lower boundary function of the window is enabled.
All further WDI pulses will need to fit into the configured window frame.
