15.5 Power-down operation

The WDT oscillator and external crystal oscillator will continue to run in power-down,
consuming approximately 50 μA, as long as the WDT oscillator is selected as the clock
source for the WDT. Selecting PCLK as the WDT source will result in the WDT oscillator
going into power-down with the rest of the device (see Section15.3). Power-down mode
will also prevent PCLK from running and therefore the watchdog is effectively disabled.

15.6 Periodic wake-up from power-down without an external oscillator

Without using an external oscillator source, the power consumption required in order to
have a periodic wake-up is determined by the power consumption of the internal oscillator
source used to produce the wake-up. The Real-time clock running from the internal RC
oscillator can be used. The power consumption of this oscillator is approximately 300 μA.
Instead, if the WDT is used to generate interrupts the current is reduced to approximately
50 μA. Whenever the WDT underflows, the device will wake-up.
16. Additional features
The AUXR1 register contains several special purpose control bits that relate to several
chip features. AUXR1 is described in Table102
