8.11.4 Countdown timer function

The countdown timer function is controlled by the WD_CD[1:0] bits in register

Watchdg_tim_ctl (see Table 34).

The timer counts down from the software programmed 8 bit binary value n in register

Watchdg_tim_val. When the counter reaches 1

• the countdown timer flag CDTF is set

• the counter automatically reloads

• and the next time period starts

Loading the counter with 0 effectively stops the timer.

Reading the timer will return the actual value of the countdown counter.

If a new value of n is written before the end of the actual timer period, this value will take

immediate effect. It is not recommended to change n without first disabling the counter by

setting WD_CD[1:0] = 00. The update of n is asynchronous to the timer clock. Therefore

changing it on the fly could result in a corrupted value loaded into the countdown counter.

This can result in an undetermined countdown period for the first period. The countdown

value n will, however, be correctly stored and correctly loaded on subsequent timer

periods.

In this example it is assumed that the countdown timer flag (CDTF) is cleared before the next

countdown period expires and that INT is set to pulsed mode.
