3.24 Watchdog Timer (Runaway detection timer)

The TMP92CZ26A contains a watchdog timer of runaway detecting.
The watchdog timer (WDT ) is used to return the CPU to the normal stat e when it detects that
the CPU has started to malfunction (runaway) due to causes such as noise. When the watchdo g
timer detects a malfunction, it generates a non-maskable interrupt INTWD to notify the CPU of
the malfunction.
Connecting the watchdog timer outpu t to the reset pin internally forces a reset.
(The level of external RESET pin is not changed.)

Figure 3.24.1 is a block diagram of the watchdog timer (WDT).

Note: It needs to care designing the total machine set, because Watchdog timer can’t operate completely by
external noise.
