7-0 WDCNTR These bits contain the current value of the WD counter. The 8-bit counter continually increments at the
watchdog clock (WDCLK), rate. If the counter overflows, then the watchdog initiates a reset. If the WDKEY
register is written with a valid combination, then the counter is reset to zero. The watchdog clock rate is
configured in the WDCR register.

7-0 WDKEY Refer to Table 3-13 for examples of different WDKEY write sequences.
0x55 + 0xAA Writing 0x55 followed by 0xAA to WDKEY causes the WDCNTR bits to be cleared.
Other value Writing any value other than 0x55 or 0xAA causes no action to be generated. If any value other than
0xAA is written after 0x55, then the sequence must restart with 0x55.
Reads from WDKEY return the value of the WDCR register.
