8.16 Watchdog timer

When enabled via the WDTE conﬁguration bit, the Watchdog timer is operated from

an independent, fully on-chip oscillator in order to provide the greatest possible

dependability. When the Watchdog feature is enabled, the timer must be fed regularly

by software in order to prevent it from resetting the CPU, and it cannot be turned off.

When disabled as a Watchdog timer (via the WDTE bit in the UCFG1 conﬁguration

Watchdog timer is shown in Figure 27.

The Watchdog timeout time is selectable from one of eight values, nominal times

range from 16 milliseconds to 2.1 seconds. The frequency tolerance of the

independent Watchdog RC oscillator is

±37 %. The timeout selections and other

control bits are shown in Tables 43 and 44. When the Watchdog function is enabled,

the WDCON register may be written once during chip initialization in order to set the

Watchdog timeout time. The recommended method of initializing the WDCON

bits. Using this method, the Watchdog initialization may be done any time within 10

milliseconds after start-up without a Watchdog overﬂow occurring before the

initialization can be completed.

Since the Watchdog timer oscillator is fully on-chip and independent of any external

oscillator circuit used by the CPU, it intrinsically serves as an oscillator fail detection

function. If the Watchdog feature is enabled and the CPU oscillator fails for any

reason, the Watchdog timer will time out and reset the CPU.

When the Watchdog function is enabled, the timer is deactivated temporarily when a

chip reset occurs from another source, such as a Power-on reset, brownout reset, or

external reset.
