Watchdog Timer#

Introduction#

The WatchDog Timer is used to generate an interrupt on timeout and a reset in case of a system failure, which can be caused by an external event like ESD (Electro Static Discharge) pulse or due to a software failure. The Interrupt can also be used as a Wakeup source for transitioning from SLEEP/STANDBY to ACTIVE states.

  • Features supported by Watchdog timer

  • Independent window watchdog timer.

  • Interrupt is generated before the system reset is applied which can be used as a wakeup source.

  • Individually controllable power domain for low-power applications.

  • APB Interface for accesses from CPU.

  • Able to operate when CPU is in SLEEP state during power-save applications.

  • Configurable timeout period.

  • Option to clocked using a low power internal RC (32 KHz) or external 32KHz XTAL.

Configuration#

By calling the sl_si91x_watchdog_init_timer and sl_si91x_watchdog_configure_clock, the watchdog timer is initialized and its clocks are configured. By using sl_si91x_watchdog_set_configuration watchdog parameters including Interrupt time, system reset time and window time are configured.

  • For more information on configuring available parameters refer to the respective peripheral example readme document.

Usage#

  • To read time values following APIs are used:

  1. sl_si91x_watchdog_get_system_reset_time to read system-reset time.

  2. sl_si91x_watchdog_get_interrupt_time to read interrupt time.

  3. sl_si91x_watchdog_get_window_time to read window time.
