Watchdog timers

Watchdog timers

This device offers a 2-level watchdog control approach. The first control level is given by

means of a temporal watchdog (WD1). The WD1 window times are SPI programmable and

a couple of specific codes have to be written within this window in order to serve the WD1

control. The second control level is featured by an algorithmic seed/key watchdog (WD2).

Unlike the temporal watchdog, the algorithmic watchdog service must be maintained before

a timeout occurs, i.e. there is no restriction on refreshing the watchdog too early. Both WD1

and WD2 watchdog functionalities can be tested through the WD_TEST SPI command.

10.1

Temporal watchdog (WD1)

The temporal watchdog ensures the system software is operating correctly by requiring

periodic service from the microcontroller at a programmable rate. This service (watchdog

refresh) must occur within a time window, and if serviced too early or too late will enter an

error state reported via the FLTSR register (WD1_WDR bit).

The overall WD1 functionality is described in the state diagram reported in Figure 46.
