E. Watchdog Timer Configuration
The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user programmable count. The WDT is
suitable for use in the prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a
deadlock. Under these sorts of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the selected outputs will
be driven. Under normal circumstance, the user will restart the WDT at regular intervals before the
timer counts to zero.
