Active-Low Manual Reset Input. Drive MR low to initiate a reset. The reset output
remains asserted while MR is held low and for the reset timeout period after MR
transitions high. Leave MR unconnected or connect to V

Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout
period, the internal watchdog timer expires, and a reset is triggered for the reset
timeout period. The internal watchdog timer clears whenever reset is asserted,
the manual reset is asserted, or WDI sees a rising or falling edge.
