Caution When enabling operation of the watch timer mode control register (WTM), watch timer, and 5-
bit counter, the time until the first watch timer interrupt request (INTWT) is generated is not
exactly the same time as set by bits 4 to 6 of WTM (WTM4 to WTM6). This is because the 5-bit
counter starts counting 1 cycle after 9-bit prescaler output. Following the first INTWT generation,
the INTWT signal is generated at the set interval time.
