1. In the same operation, write a logic one to the Watchdog change enable bit (WDCE)
and WDE. A logic one must be written to WDE regardless of the previous value of the
WDE bit.
2. Within the next four clock cycles, write the WDE and Watchdog prescaler bits (WDP)
as desired, but with the WDCE bit cleared. This must be done in one operation.
The following code example shows one assembly and one C function for turning off the
Watchdog Timer. The example assumes that interrupts are controlled (e.g. by disabling inter-
rupts globally) so that no interrupts will occur during the execution of these functions.
Note: 1. See ”About Code Examples” on page 5 .
Assembly Code Example (1)
WDT_off:
; Turn off global interrupt
cli
; Reset Watchdog Timer
wdr
; Clear WDRF in MCUSR
in r16, MCUSR
andi r16, (0xff & (0<<WDRF))

; Write logical one to WDCE and WDE
; Keep old prescaler setting to prevent unintentional timeout
in r16, WDTCSR
ori r16, (1<<WDCE) | (1<<WDE)
out WDTCSR, r16
; Turn off WDT
ldi r16, (0<<WDE)

C Code Example (1)
