11.3 Time-out Period

If the WDTCPS bits in CONFIG3 are set to 0’b11111, then the WDTPS bits set the time-out period from 1 ms to 256 seconds (nominal). If any value other than the default value is assigned to WDTCPS Configuration bits, then the timer period will be based on the WDTCPS bits in the CONFIG3 register. After a Reset, the default time-out period is 2s.
