Bit Field Type Reset Description
31 WRC R 1h Write Complete
The WRC values are defined as follows: Note: This bit is reserved
for WDT0 and has a reset value of 0.
0h = A write access to one of the WDT1 registers is in progress.
1h = A write access is not in progress, and WDT1 registers can be
read or written.
30-3 RESERVED R 0h
2 INTTYPE R/W 0h
Watchdog Interrupt Type. The INTTYPE values are defined as
follows:
0h = Watchdog interrupt is a standard interrupt.
1h = Not Valid Value
1 RESERVED R/W 0h
0 INTEN R/W 0h
Watchdog Interrupt Enable. The INTEN values are defined as
follows:
0h = Interrupt event disabled (when this bit is set, it can only be
cleared by a hardware reset).
1h = Interrupt event enabled. Once enabled, all writes are ignored.
Setting this bit enables the WDT.
