31.3.2 Control over Writing to the IWDTCR, IWDTRCR, and IWDTCSTPR Registers
Writing to the IWDTCR, IWDTRCR, or IWDTCSTPR register is only possible once between the release from the reset
state and the first refresh operation.
After a refresh operation (counting starts) or the IWDTCR, IWDTRCR, or IWDTCSTPR register is written to, the
protection signal in the IWDT becomes 1 to protect registers IWDTCR, IWDTRCR, and IWDTCSTPR against
subsequent attempts at writing.
This protection is released by the reset source of the IWDT. With other reset sources, the protection is not released.
Figure 31.5 shows control waveforms produced in response to writing to the IWDTCR register.
