Chapter 14 Watchdog Timer Configuration

The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for
use in the prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock. Under these sorts
of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance,
the user will restart the WDT at regular intervals before the timer counts to zero.
