WDT enable
This field configures the WDT behavior after MCU execution.
1111 = WDT is Disabled. WDT can be used as a general purpose timer via software control.
0101 = WDT is Enabled as a time-out reset timer and it stops running during Idle or Power-
down mode.
Others = WDT is Enabled as a time-out reset timer and it keeps running during Idle or Power-
down mode.
The WDT is implemented with a set of divider that divides the low-speed internal oscillator clock
nominal 10 kHz. The divider output is selectable and determines the time-out interval. When the time-
out interval is fulfilled, it will wake the system up from Idle or Power-down mode and an interrupt event
will occur if WDT interrupt is enabled. If WDT is initialized as a time-out reset timer, a system reset will
occur after a period of delay if without any software action.
