10.1 Count Source Protective Mode
In this mode, a on-chip oscillator clock is used for the watchdog timer count source. The watchdog timer
can be kept being clocked even when CPU clock stops as a result of runaway.
Before this mode can be used, the following register settings are required:
(1) Set the PRC1 bit in the PRCR register to “1” (enable writes to the PM1 and PM2 registers).
(2) Set the PM12 bit in the PM1 register to “1” (reset when the watchdog timer underflows).
(3) Set the PM22 bit in the PM2 register to “1” (on-chip oscillator clock used for the watchdog timer count source).
(4) Set the PRC1 bit in the PRCR register to “0” (disable writes to the PM1 and PM2 registers).
(5) Write to the WDTS register (watchdog timer starts counting).
Setting the PM22 bit to “1” results in the following conditions:
• The on-chip oscillator starts oscillating, and the on-chip oscillator clock becomes the watchdog timer
count source.
• The CM10 bit in the CM1 register is disabled against write. (Writing a “1” has no effect, nor is stop mode entered.)
• The watchdog timer does not stop when in wait mode or hold state.

The watchdog timer is initialized and starts counting after a write instruction to
this register. The watchdog timer value is always initialized to "7FFFh" regardless
of whatever value is written.
