14.13 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer is a free running, on-chip RC
oscillator which does not require any external
components. This RC oscillator is separate from the
RC oscillator of the OSC1/CLKI pin. That means that
the WDT will run even if the clock on the OSC1/CLKI
and OSC2/CLKO pins of the device has been stopped,
for example, by execution of a
SLEEP
instruction.
During normal operation, a WDT time-out generates a
device Reset (Watchdog Timer Reset). If the device is
in Sleep mode, a WDT time-out causes the device to
wake-up and continue with normal operation (Watch-
dog Timer Wake-up). The TO bit in the Status register
will be cleared upon a Watchdog Timer time-out.
The WDT can be permanently disabled by clearing
configuration bit, WDTE (Section 14.1 “Configuration
Bits”).
WDT time-out period values may be found in
Section 17.0 “Electrical Characteristics” under
parameter #31. Values for the WDT prescaler (actually
a postscaler but shared with the Timer0 prescaler) may
be assigned using the OPTION_REG register.

TABLE 14-7:
SUMMARY OF WATCHDOG TIMER REGISTERS
Note 1: The
CLRWDT
and
SLEEP
instructions
clear the WDT and the postscaler, if
assigned to the WDT and prevent it from
timing out and generating a device Reset
condition.
2: When a
CLRWDT
instruction is executed
and the prescaler is assigned to the WDT,
the prescaler count will be cleared but the
prescaler assignment is not changed.
