Figure 10.2 WDC Register and WDTS Register
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.
