8.5.2 Programmable Window-Watchdog by Using an External Capacitor

The upper boundary of the watchdog timer can be set by an external capacitor connected between the WDT pin and GND. Common consumer electronic capacitors can be used to implement this feature. They must have low ESR and low tolerances because the tolerances have to be considered if the calculations are performed. The first formula is used to calculate the upper window frame. After calculating the upper window frame, the lower boundary can be calculated. As in the last example, the most important values are the tboundary,max and twindow,min. The trigger pulse has to fit into this window frame.

The external capacitor must have a value between a minimum of 155 pF and a maximum of 63 nF.
