Bits 7:4 – WINDOW[3:0] Window

Writing a non-zero value to these bits enables the Window mode, and selects the duration of the closed period accordingly.

The bits are optionally lock-protected:

  • If LOCK bit in WDT.STATUS is ‘1’, all bits are change-protected (Access = R)
  • If LOCK bit in WDT.STATUS is ‘0’, all bits can be changed (Access = R/W)

  • If LOCK in WDT.STATUS is ‘1’, all bits are change-protected (Access = R)
  • If LOCK in WDT.STATUS is ‘0’, all bits can be changed (Access = R/W)
