Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer is clocked from an on-chip oscillator, which runs at 128 kHz. See Figure 8-

6. By controlling the Watchdog Timer prescaler, the Watchdog Reset interval can be adjusted as

shown in Table 8-2 on page 32. The WDR – Watchdog Reset – instruction resets the Watchdog

Timer. The Watchdog Timer is also reset when it is disabled and when a device reset occurs.

Ten different clock cycle periods can be selected to determine the reset period. If the reset

period expires without another Watchdog Reset, the ATtiny4/5/9/10 resets and executes from

the Reset Vector. For timing details on the Watchdog Reset, refer to Table 8-3 on page 33.

Figure 8-6.

Watchdog Timer

The Wathdog Timer can also be configured to generate an interrupt instead of a reset. This can

be very helpful when using the Watchdog to wake-up from Power-down.

To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog or unintentional change of time-out period,

two different safety levels are selected by the fuse WDTON as shown in Table 8-1 on page 31.

See “Procedure for Changing the Watchdog Timer Configuration” on page 31 for details.
