6.19 Digital Windowed Watchdog
This device includes a Digital Windowed Watchdog (DWWD) module that protects against runaway code
execution (see Figure 6-13).
The DWWD module allows the application to configure the time window within which the DWWD module
expects the application to service the watchdog. A watchdog violation occurs if the application services the
watchdog outside of this window, or fails to service the watchdog at all. The application can choose to
generate a system reset or an ESM group2 error signal in case of a watchdog violation.
The watchdog is disabled by default and must be enabled by the application. Once enabled, the watchdog
can only be disabled upon a system reset.
