19.4.3 Device Configuration Controlled WDT

If the DEVCFG2.WDTEN Configuration bit is set, the WDT is always enabled. The ON control bit (WDTCON[15]) reflects this by reading a ‘1’. In this mode, the ON bit cannot be cleared in software. The DEVCFG2.WDTEN Configuration bit will not be cleared by any form of Reset. To disable the WDT, the configuration must be rewritten to the device.

The DEVCFG2.WINDIS Configuration bit can be used to enable or disable the Programmable Windowed mode. The window size for the WDT Programmable Windowed mode can be configured using the DEVCFG2.WINSZ Configuration bits.
