18.4.2 Watchdog Timer Constant register (WDTC - 0xE000 0004)

The WDTC register determines the time-out value. Every time a feed sequence occurs the
WDTC content is reloaded in to the watchdog timer. It's a 32-bit register with 8 LSB set to
1 on reset. Writing values below 0xFF will cause 0xFF to be loaded to the WDTC. Thus
the minimum time-out interval is T

18.4.3 Watchdog Feed register (WDFEED - 0xE000 0008)

Writing 0xAA followed by 0x55 to this register will reload the watchdog timer to the WDTC
value. This operation will also start the watchdog if it is enabled via the WDMOD register.
Setting the WDEN bit in the WDMOD register is not sufficient to enable the watchdog. A
valid feed sequence must first be completed before the watchdog is capable of generating
an interrupt/reset. Until then, the watchdog will ignore feed errors. Once 0xAA is written to
the WDFEED register the next operation in the watchdog register space should be a
WRITE (0x55) to the WDFFED register otherwise the watchdog is triggered. The
interrupt/reset will be generated during the second PCLK following an incorrect access to
a watchdog timer register during a feed sequence.

18.4.4 Watchdog Timer Value register (WDTV - 0xE000 000C)

The WDTV register is used to read the current value of watchdog timer.
