The Keypad Interrupt must be enabled in order for the settings of the KBMASK register to be effective.

15. Watchdog timer (WDT)

The watchdog timer subsystem protects the system from incorrect code execution by
causing a system reset when it underflows as a result of a failure of software to feed the
timer prior to the timer reaching its terminal count. The watchdog timer can only be reset
by a power-on reset.

15.1 Watchdog

function

The user has the ability using the WDCON, CLKCON and UCFG1 registers to control the
run /stop condition of the WDT, the clock source for the WDT, the prescaler value, and
whether the WDT is enabled to reset the device on underflow. In addition, there is a safety
mechanism which forces the WDT to be enabled by values programmed into UCFG1
either through IAP or a commercial programmer.

The WDTE bit (UCFG1.7), if set, enables the WDT to reset the device on underflow.
Following reset, the WDT will be running regardless of the state of the WDTE bit.

The WDRUN bit (WDCON.2) can be set to start the WDT and cleared to stop the WDT.
Following reset this bit will be set and the WDT will be running. All writes to WDCON need
to be followed by a feed sequence (see

Section 15.2

). Additional bits in WDCON allow the

user to select the clock source for the WDT and the prescaler.

When the timer is not enabled to reset the device on underflow, the WDT can be used in
‘timer mode’ and be enabled to produce an interrupt (IEN0.6) if desired.

The Watchdog Safety Enable bit, WDSE (UCFG1.4) along with WDTE, is designed to
force certain operating conditions at power-up. Refer to

Table 96

for details.

Figure 51

shows the watchdog timer in watchdog mode. It consists of a programmable

13-bit prescaler, and an 8-bit down counter. The down counter is clocked (decremented)
by a tap taken from the prescaler. The clock source for the prescaler is either PCLK, low
