31.3.2 WWDG internal signals
Table 205 gives the list of WWDG internal signals.
31.3.3 Enabling the watchdog
The watchdog is always disabled after a reset. It is enabled by setting the WDGA bit in the
WWDG_CR register, then it cannot be disabled again except by a reset.
31.3.4 Controlling the down-counter
This down-counter is free-running, counting down even if the watchdog is disabled. When
the watchdog is enabled, the T6 bit must be set to prevent generating an immediate reset.
The T[5:0] bits contain the number of increments that represent the time delay before the
watchdog produces a reset. The timing varies between a minimum and a maximum value,
due to the unknown status of the prescaler when writing to the WWDG_CR register (see
Figure 273). The WWDG configuration register (WWDG_CFR) contains the high limit of the
window: to prevent a reset, the down-counter must be reloaded when its value is lower than
or equal to the window register value, and greater than 0x3F. Figure 273 describes the
window watchdog process.
Note: The T6 bit can be used to generate a software reset (the WDGA bit is set and the T6 bit is
cleared).
