Independent watchdog (IWDG) RM0090
537/1422 Doc ID 018909 Rev 4
with a different value will break the sequence and register access will be protected again.
This implies that it is the case of the reload operation (writing 0xAAAA).
A status register is available to indicate that an update of the prescaler or the down-counter
reload value is on going.
18.3.3 Debug mode
When the microcontroller enters debug mode (Cortex™-M4F core halted), the IWDG
counter either continues to work normally or stops, depending on DBG_IWDG_STOP
configuration bit in DBG module. For more details, refer to Section 33.16.2: Debug support
for timers, watchdog, bxCAN and I2C.

Note: The watchdog function is implemented in the V
DD
voltage domain that is still functional in
Stop and Standby modes.
18.4 IWDG registers
Refer to Section 1.1 on page 47 for a list of abbreviations used in register descriptions.
The peripheral registers can be accessed by half-words (16 bits) or words (32 bits).

1. These timings are given for a 32 kHz clock but the microcontroller’s internal RC frequency can vary from 30
to 60 kHz. Moreover, given an exact RC oscillator frequency, the exact timings still depend on the phasing
of the APB interface clock versus the LSI clock so that there is always a full RC period of uncertainty.
