reset is generated. The WDT can be enabled and disabled as needed in software, or can be permanently
enabled if desired. Watchdog features are controlled via the Watchdog Timer Control Register (WDTCN)
shown in SFR Definition 13.1.
13.7.1. Enable/Reset WDT
The watchdog timer is both enabled and reset by writing 0xA5 to the WDTCN register. The user's applica-
tion software should include periodic writes of 0xA5 to WDTCN as needed to prevent a watchdog timer
overflow. The WDT is enabled and reset as a result of any system reset.
13.7.2. Disable WDT
Writing 0xDE followed by 0xAD to the WDTCN register disables the WDT. The following code segment
illustrates disabling the WDT:
CLR
EA
; disable all interrupts
MOV
WDTCN,#0DEh
; disable software watchdog timer
MOV
WDTCN,#0ADh
SETB
EA
; re-enable interrupts
The writes of 0xDE and 0xAD must occur within 4 clock cycles of each other, or the disable operation is
ignored. This means that the prefetch engine should be enabled and interrupts should be disabled during
this procedure to avoid any delay between the two writes.
13.7.3. Disable WDT Lockout
Writing 0xFF to WDTCN locks out the disable feature. Once locked out, the disable operation is ignored
until the next system reset. Writing 0xFF does not enable or reset the watchdog timer. Applications always
intending to use the watchdog should write 0xFF to WDTCN in the initialization code.
13.7.4. Setting WDT Interval
WDTCN.[2:0] control the watchdog timeout interval. The interval is given by the following equation:
; where
T
sysclk
is the system clock period.
For a 3 MHz system clock, this provides an interval range of 0.021 ms to 349.5 ms. WDTCN.7 must be
logic 0 when setting this interval. Reading WDTCN returns the programmed interval. WDTCN.[2:0] reads
111b after a system reset.
