Descriptions
The WDT has the following two registers. See section 24, List of Registers, for the addresses and
access sizes of these registers.

• Watchdog timer counter (WTCNT)
• Watchdog timer control/status register (WTCSR)

5.2.1
Watchdog Timer Counter (WTCNT)
The watchdog timer counter (WTCNT) is an 8-bit readable/writable register that is incremented by
cycles of the selected clock signal. When an overflow occurs, it generates a reset in watchdog
timer mode and an interrupt in interval timer mode. The WTCNT counter is initialized to H'00
only by a power-on reset caused by the
cycles of the selected clock signal. When an overflow occurs, it generates a reset in watchdog
timer mode and an interrupt in interval timer mode. The WTCNT counter is initialized to H'00
only by a power-on reset caused by the
RESETP pin. Use a word access to write to the WTCNT
counter, writing H'5A in the upper byte. Use a byte access to read the WTCNT.
Note: The WTCNT differs from other registers in the prevention of erroneous writes.
See section 5.2.3, Notes on Register Access, for details.
