4.4.1 Description

The Dual Watchdog Timer (DWDT) is used to prevent system lock-up if the software becomes trapped in a deadlock. It features two 12-bit down counters that allow two watchdog periods of up to 16 seconds (Monitoring Domain Slow Clock (MD_SLCK) around 32 kHz). In addition, it can be stopped while the processor is in Debug mode or Sleep mode (Idle mode).
