33.4.2 Watchdog Time-out Period Selection

The WDT time-out period is selected by postscaler dividers.

The WDT time-out period can be calculated using Equation 33-1, and WDT time-out period with window option can be calculated using Equation 33-2. The WDT period configurations for WDT time-out period are provided in Table 33-2.

Equation 33-1. Watchdog Timer Time-out Period
TWTO = (N1) x (N2) x (TCLK)

Where:

N1 = 32

N2 = Postscaler divider ratio (see Table 33-2)

TCLK = WDT clock source
