WD Question and Answer Basic information

A Question and Answer (Q&A) watchdog is a type of watchdog where instead of simply resetting the watchdog via a SPI write or a pin toggle, the MCU reads a ‘question’ from the TCAN1167-Q1 do math based on the question and then write the computed answers back to the TCAN1167-Q1. The correct answer is a four byte response. Each byte must be written in order and with the correct timing to have a correct answer.

There are two watchdog windows; referred to as WD Response window #1 and WD Response window #2 (Figure 9-5 WD QA Windows as example). The size of each window will be 50% of the total watchdog time, which is selected from the WD_TIMER and WD_PRE register bits.

Each watchdog question and answer is a full watchdog cycle. The general process is the MCU reads the question, when the question is read, the timer starts. The CPU must perform a mathematical function on the question, resulting in four bytes of answers. Three of the four answer bytes must be written to the answer register within the first window, in correct order. The last answer must be written to the answer register after the first response window, inside of WD Response Window #2. If all four answer bytes were correct and in the correct order, then the response is considered good and a new question is generated, starting the cycle over again. Once the fourth answer is written into WD Response Window #2, that window is terminated and a new WD Response Window #1 is started.

If anything is incorrect or missed, the response is considered bad and the watchdog question will NOT change. In addition, an error counter will be incremented. Once this error counter hits a threshold (defined in the WD_ERR_CNT register field), the watchdog failure action will be performed. Examples of actions are an interrupt, or reset toggle, etc.

The MCU is not required to request the WD question. The MCU can start with correct answers, WD_ANSWER_RESP_x bytes anywhere within RESPONSE WINDOW 1. The new WD question is always generated within one system clock cycle after the final WD_ANSWER_RESP_0 answer during the previous WD Q&A sequence run.
The MCU can schedule other SPI commands between the WD_ANSWER_RESPx responses (even a command requesting the WD question) without any impact to the WD function as long as the WD_ANSWER_RESP_[3:1] bytes are provided within the RESPONSE WINDOW 1 and WD_ANSWER_RESP_0 is provided within the RESPONSE WINDOW 2.
