Watchdog Timer Register
The watchdog timer (WATCHDOG) register provides all of the control of the watchdog timer. It provides
bits to enable the watchdog timer and to determine if the result of a time out is an interrupt or a system
reset. The settings for the WATCHDOG register are described in Table 11-6.

Counter—These bits represent the value of the watch-
dog counter, which counts up in 1-second increments.
When the watchdog counter counts to 10, it generates
a watchdog interrupt.

When the watchdog counter counts to 10, it generates
a watchdog interrupt.
Note:
Because the watchdog counter is incremented
by a 1 Hz signal from the real-time clock, the average
tolerance of the counter is 0.5 seconds. Greater
accuracy is obtained by polling the 1 Hz flag of the
RTCISR.
