8.3.13.8.4.2 Question and Answer Register and Settings

There are several registers used to configure the watchdog registers, see Table 8-17.

Table 8-17 List of Watchdog Related Registers
Register Address Register Name Description
0x16 WD_RST_PULSE Sets error counter threshold
0x2D WD_QA_CONFIG Configuration related to the QA configuration
0x2E WD_QA_ANSWER Register for writing the calculated answers
0x2F WD_QA_QUESTION Reading the current QA question

The WD_CONFIG_1 and WD_CONFIG_2 registers mainly deal with setting up the watchdog window time length. Refer to Table 8-16 to see the options for window sizes, and the required values for the WD_TIMER values and WD_PRE values. Take note that each of the 2 response windows are half of the selected value. Due to the need for several bytes of SPI to be used for each watchdog QA event, the recommendation is the windows greater than 64ms be used when using the QA watchdog functionality.

There are also different actions that can be performed when the watchdog error counter exceeds the error counter threshold.
