The WWDT can be used in interval timer mode to generate periodic interrupts to the CPU when not using the watchdog functionality. When used in interval timer mode, a WWDT interrupt is generated when the WWDT period expires, or when an incorrect password is applied to the WWDT control registers (WWDTCTL0 and WWDTCTL1). The WWDT counter restarts itself once the WWDT period expires. A write of the RESTART value to the WWDTCNTRST register will restart the WWDT interval timer mode, keeping the period from expiring and a WWDT interrupt from generating.
