17.3.31 RTI Watchdog Key Register (RTIWDKEY)
This register must be written with the correct written key values to serve the watchdog. This register is
shown in Figure 17-42 and described in Table 17-32.
NOTE: It has to be taken into account that the write to the RTIWDKEY register takes 3 VCLK cycles.

Bit Field Value Description
31-16 Reserved 0 Reads return 0 and writes have no effect.
15-0 WDKEY 0-FFFFh Watchdog key. These bits provide the key sequence location.
Reads returns the current WDKEY value.
A write of E51Ah followed by A35Ch in two separate write operations defines the key sequence
and reloads the DWD. Writing any other value causes a reset or NMI, as shown in Table 17-33.
Writing any other value will cause the WDKEY to reset to A35Ch.
