PRODUCTION DATA
To avoid inadvertent watchdog configuration changes, the TCAN245x-Q1 family implements a watchdog configuration register locking and unlocking mechanism. Registers 8'h13, 8'h14, 8'16 and 8'h2D are only programmable in standby mode and are the registers that become locked. These registers automatically lock with the first WD input trigger event or when transitioning to normal mode via SPI command. The watchdog can be unlocked for programming again by transitioning to standby mode; which allows one write to each of the four registers. If the registers are locked while in standby mode, there are two ways to unlock the configuration registers:
The WD can be enabled in sleep mode and is only capable of timeout and the configuration registers are locked. See Figure 8-41 which shows the described behavior.
