Key features of the IWDT include:
Figure 20-1 shows the block diagram of the IWDT.
The primary function of the IWDT is to initiate a full power on reset (POR) of the device when correct operation of the device has failed due to an unexpected software or system delay. The IWDT can be programmed with a predefined time within the application software.
The application software must restart the timer, indicating that application execution is proceeding normally. If application software fails to restart the timer within the specified time, the IWDT will issue a POR reset request to PMU of the device to generate a POR, restarting the device in a cold boot process.
