The WDT bus clock (CLK_WDT_APB) can be enabled and disabled (masked) in the Main Clock module (MCLK).
A 1.024 kHz oscillator clock (CLK_WDT_OSC) is required to clock the WDT internal counter.
The CLK_WDT_OSC CLOCK is sourced from the clock of the internal Ultra Low-Power Oscillator (OSCULP32K). Due to ultra low-power design, the oscillator is not accurate, hence the exact time-out period may vary from device-to-device. This variation must be considered when designing software that uses the WDT to ensure that the time-out periods used are valid for all devices.
The counter clock CLK_WDT_OSC is asynchronous to the bus clock (CLK_WDT_APB). Due to this asynchronicity, writing to certain registers will require synchronization between the clock domains. Refer to Synchronization for further details.
