Watchdog timer

The watchdog timer can be used to detect an out-of-control microprocessor. The user

programs the watchdog timer by setting the desired amount of time-out into the Watchdog

Bits BMB4-BMB0 store a binary multiplier and the three bits RB2-RB0 select the resolution

where:

000=1/16 second (16Hz);

001=1/4 second (4Hz);

010=1 second (1Hz);

011=4 seconds (1/4Hz); and

100 = 1 minute (1/60Hz).

Note:

Invalid combinations (101, 110, and 111) will NOT enable a watchdog time-out. Setting the

BMB4-BMB0 = 0 with any combination of RB2-RB0, other than 000, will result in an

immediate watchdog time-out.

The amount of time-out is then determined to be the multiplication of the five-bit multiplier

value with the resolution. (For example: writing 00001110 in the Watchdog Register = 3*1 or

3 seconds). If the processor does not reset the timer within the specified period, the M41T6x

sets the WDF (Watchdog Flag) and generates an interrupt on the IRQ pin (M41T62), or a

watchdog output pulse (M41T63 and M41T65 only) on the WDO pin. The watchdog timer

can only be reset by having the microprocessor perform a WRITE of the Watchdog Register.

The time-out period then starts over.

Should the watchdog timer time-out, any value may be written to the Watchdog Register in

order to clear the IRQ pin. A value of 00h will disable the watchdog function until it is again

programmed to a new value. A READ of the Flags Register will reset the Watchdog Flag (Bit

D7; Register 0Fh). The watchdog function is automatically disabled upon power-up, and the

Watchdog Register is cleared.

Note:

A WRITE to any clock register will restart the watchdog timer.

Watchdog output (WDO - M41T63/65 only)

If the processor does not reset the watchdog timer within the specified period, the Watchdog

Output (WDO) will pulse low for trec (see Table 17 on page 34). This output may be

connected to the Reset input of the processor in order to generate a processor reset. After a

watchdog time-out occurs, the timer will remain disabled until such time as a new

countdown value is written into the watchdog register.

Note:

The crystal oscillator must be running for the WDO pulse to be available.

The WDO output is an N-channel, open drain output driver (with IOL as specified in Table 14

on page 32).
