MFR_WATCHDOG_CONFIG (FDh)
The MFR_WATCHDOG_CONFIG command is used
to configure the external watchdog function. The
MFR_WATCHDOG_CONFIG command is described in
Table 40.
Open-Drain Pins
MSDA, MSCL, SCL, SDA, FAULT, and ALERT are open-
drain pins and require external pullup resistors con-
nected to V
to realize high logic levels.

PSEN0–PSEN11 can be user-configured as either CMOS
push-pull or open-drain outputs. When configured as

surface-mount capacitor. Surface-mount components
minimize lead inductance, which improves performance;
ceramic capacitors tend to have adequate high-frequen-

with a maximum ESR of 500mI.

These bits always return a 0 when read.
0 = WDO pin is watchdog output only.
1 = WDO pin is watchdog output and manual-reset input.
WD_WDO_MR
When this bit is set to a 1, it resets the watchdog the same as a rising edge on
WDI does. This bit always returns a 0 when read.

0 = Watchdog disabled (WDO is forced high impedance).
1 = Watchdog enabled.
WD_ENABLE
*If dual sequencing is enabled, only the primary group is used to time the start of the watchdog.
