watchdog timer

The primary function of the watchdog timer (WDT) module is to perform a controlled system restart after a

software problem occurs. If the selected time interval expires, a system reset is generated. If the watchdog

function is not needed in an application, the module can be configured as an interval timer and can generate

interrupts at selected time intervals.

timer_A3

Timer_A3 is a 16-bit timer/counter with three capture/compare registers. Timer_A3 can support multiple

capture/compares, PWM outputs, and interval timing. Timer_A3 also has extensive interrupt capabilities.

Interrupts may be generated from the counter on overflow conditions and from each of the capture/compare

registers.
