watchdog block
The watchdog block on the F2810 and F2812 is identical to the one used on the 240x devices. The watchdog
module generates an output pulse, 512 oscillator clocks wide (OSCCLK), whenever the 8-bit watchdog up
counter has reached its maximum value. To prevent this, the user disables the counter or the software must
periodically write a 0x55 + 0xAA sequence into the watchdog key register which will reset the watchdog counter.
Figure 11 shows the various functional blocks within the watchdog module.

NOTE A: The WDRST signal is driven low for 512 OSCCLK cycles (similarly for the WDINT signal if enabled).
Figure 11. Watchdog Module
The WDINT signal enables the watchdog to be used as a wakeup from IDLE/STANDBY mode timer.
In STANDBY mode, all peripherals are turned off on the device. The only peripheral that remains functional is
the watchdog. The WATCHDOG module will run off the PLL clock or the oscillator clock. The WDINT signal is
fed to the LPM block so that it can wake the device from STANDBY (if enabled). Refer to

section of this data sheet for more details.
In IDLE mode, the WDINT signal can generate an interrupt to the CPU, via the PIE, to take the CPU out of IDLE
mode.
In HALT mode, this feature cannot be used because the oscillator (and PLL) are turned off and hence so is the
WATCHDOG.
