Watchdog Timer
Watchdog Timer IP is used to monitor status of Host.
Overview
Watchdog Timer IP is used to monitor status of Host. Host sends kick signal to the IP periodically which resets the timer inside the IP. When kick signal is missed for the first time, WDT IP sends an interrupt to the Host and the second consequent miss of kick signal triggers reset to the host.
Key features
- Watch Dog Timer IP supports- 24-bit prescalar.
- Enable and timeout duration are programmable.
- Optional safety feature to unlock the safety pattern.
- Supports Suspend mode operation.
