Description
WDON[1:0]
7 to 6
WD-Timer turn ON bits
[Bit Status: 01 (Initial Value)]
In this mode, the WD-Timer turns off.
This bit status makes a selected counting clock frozen. Thus, the 8-bit WD-Timer
Register keeps previous value without down-counting.
[Bit Status: 10]
In this mode, the WD-Timer turns on.
This bit status makes a selected counting clock run. Thus, the 8-bit WD-Timer
Register operates as a down-counter.
[Bit Status: 00 or 11]
Do NOT write these values on these two bits.
In these mode, the WD-Timer turns on just like status-10. The purpose of these
two redundant status is to prevent unexpected WD-Timer stop by device upset.
While the WD-Timer is running by setting 10 to the WDON[1:0], unexpected
electrical shock can make a WDON bit toggle. If another WDON bit retains its
value, the WD-Timer will be continuously running without stop.
