WatchDog Timer

T89C5115 contains a powerful programmable hardware WatchDog Timer (WDT) that

automatically resets the chip if it software fails to reset the WDT before the selected time

interval has elapsed. It permits large Time-Out ranking from 16ms to 2s

@Fosc = 12 MHz in X1 mode.

This WDT consists of a 14-bit counter plus a 7-bit programmable counter, a WatchDog

Timer reset register (WDTRST) and a WatchDog Timer programming (WDTPRG) regis-

ter. When exiting reset, the WDT is -by default- disable.

To enable the WDT, the user has to write the sequence 1EH and E1H into WDTRST

ment every machine cycle while the oscillator is running and there is no way to disable

the WDT except through reset (either hardware reset or WDT overflow reset). When

WDT overflows, it will generate an output RESET pulse at the RST pin. The RESET

pulse duration is 96xTOSC,where TOSC=1/FOSC. To make the best use of the WDT, it

should be serviced in those sections of code that will periodically be executed within the

time required to prevent a WDT reset.

Note:

When the WatchDog is enable it is impossible to change its period.
