The watchdog input (WDI) pin is the input of the non-inverting input of a comparator with a 602mV voltage reference (VTH_WDI_RISING). The comparator has a built-in 104mV (fixed) hysteresis voltage to aid in noise immunity. The watchdog state machine will clear (or reset the watchdog counter) every time a rising voltage is detected on the WDI pin. To account for the variation of the watchdog time-out, it is recommended to utilize the minimum value of the WD_TMR when determining how often the processor will send the WDI signal. For example, if the WD_TMR is programmed to 1s, the actual timeout will be between 0.8s and 1.2s. Therefore, it is recommended the WDI signal be sent by the processor at least every 0.8s to account for the worst case variation. The WD_TMR (or timeout) is programmed by the user, by using the WD_TMR input. The timer have a programmable range of 520ms to 1.5s. For more details refer to Section 8.3.7.2.
