(bp0 : WDEN = 1)
(1) Set the WDTS1-0 flag of the watchdog timer
control register (WDCTR) to "01" to select the
time-out period to 2
18
× system clock.
(2) Set the WDTC2-0 flag of the WDCTR register

WDCTR (x'03F02')
bp2-1 : WDTS1-0 = 01
(2) Set the lowest value for clear.
WDCTR (x'03F02')
bp5-3 : WDTC2-0 = 010
(3) Start the watchdog timer operation.
WDCTR (x'03F02')
bp0 : WDEN = 1
Setup Procedure
Description
Initial Setup Program (Watchdog Timer Initial Setup Example)
The command of setting the WDEN flag to "1" should be done on the last step of the initial
setting. If the watchdog control register (WDCTR) is changed after starting the operation, the
watchdog interrupt may be generated depending on the setting of the lowest value for clear.
