This timer starts running automatically after any power-on reset! If the watchdog func-

tion is not activated, the timer can be restarted by writing into the T1C1 register with

T1RM = 1.

Timer 1 can also be used as a watchdog timer to prevent a system from stalling. The

watchdog timer is a 3-bit counter that is supplied by a separate output of Timer 1. It gen-

erates a system reset when the 3-bit counter overflows. To avoid this, the 3-bit counter

must be reset before it overflows. The application software has to accomplish this by

reading the CWD register.

After power-on reset the watchdog must be activated by software in the $RESET initial-

ization routine. There are two watchdog modes, in one mode the watchdog can be

switched on and off by software, in the other mode the watchdog is active and locked.

This mode can only be stopped by carrying out a system reset.

The watchdog timer operation mode and the time interval for the watchdog reset can be

programmed via the watchdog control register (WDC).
