The following code example shows one assembly and one C function for turning off the Watch-
dog Timer. The example assumes that interrupts are controlled (e.g. by disabling interrupts
globally) so that no interrupts will occur during the execution of these functions.
Note: See “Code Examples” on page 6.
If the Watchdog is accidentally enabled, for example by a runaway pointer or brown-out condi-
tion, the device will be reset and the Watchdog Timer will stay enabled. If the code is not set up
to handle the Watchdog, this might lead to an eternal loop of time-out resets. To avoid this situa-
