RL78/G1A CHAPTER 10 WATCHDOG TIMER
10.4.3 Setting window open period of watchdog timer
Set the window open period of the watchdog timer by using bits 6 and 5 (WINDOW1, WINDOW0) of the option byte
(000C0H). The outline of the window is as follows.
• If “ACH” is written to the watchdog timer enable register (WDTE) during the window open period, the watchdog timer
is cleared and starts counting again.
• Even if “ACH” is written to the WDTE register during the window close period, an abnormality is detected and an
internal reset signal is generated.
Example: If the window open period is 50%
Window close period (50%) Window close period (50%)
Counting
starts
Overflow
time
Counting starts again when
"ACH" is written to WDTE.
Internal reset signal is generated
if "ACH" is written to WDTE.
Caution When data is written to the WDTE register for the first time after reset release, the watchdog timer is
cleared in any timing regardless of the window open time, as long as the register is written before the
overflow time, and the watchdog timer starts counting again.
The window open period can be set is as follows.

regardless of the values of the WINDOW1 and WINDOW0 bits.
