PRODUCTION DATA
The device integrates a programmable window type SPI watchdog timer to verify that the external controller is operating and the SPI bus integrity is monitored. The SPI watchdog timer can be enabled by through the WD_EN SPI register bit. The watchdog timer is disabled by default. When the watchdog timer is enabled, an internal timer starts to count up. The watchdog timer is reset by inverting the WD_RST SPI register. This WD_RST must be issued between the lower window time and the upper window time. If a watchdog timer fault is detected, the device response can be configured to either report only a warning or report a fault and disable all drivers. The watchdog fault can be cleared with a CLR_FLT command. If the watchdog is set to disable all drivers, the drivers are enabled after a CLR_FLT command is sent to remove the watchdog fault condition. To restart the watchdog after clear fault, disable and re-enable watchdog using WD_EN bit
