Watchdog Error Counter

The TLIN1441-Q1 has a watchdog error counter. This counter is an up down counter that increments for every missed window or incorrect input watchdog trigger event. For every correct input trigger, the counter decrements but does not drop below zero. The default trigger for this counter to trigger a nWDR output trigger is for every event. On every WD error event, the nWDR pin goes low as a watchdog error output trigger. For Pin control, the value is on every event. In SPI communication mode, this counter can be changed to the fifth or ninth consecutive incorrect input trigger. The error counter can be read at register 8'14[4:1].

The error counter is set at four by default. This means that when the watchdog error count is set at five and the first input failure is treated as if the fifth event has taken place. When set at nine and no correct inputs, the fifth event is treated as the failure event. This allows the system to check the counter after the first input trigger to see if a valid input was sent. nINT is pulled low on each incorrect watchdog input while VCC and nWDR behaves according to register configuration
