Automatic Calibration of the WDT Time-out Period
Author: Stan D'Souza Advanced Microcontroller Technology Division

CONCLUSION
The calibration of the WDT is simple and takes very little overhead in a program. The code in Appendix A is written for a PIC16C84 device, but can be translated to work on any PIC16CXXX product. The code in Appendix B is written for the PIC16C5X family. RAM Used: 2 Bytes ROM Used: 50 Words Execution time: Up to a max. of 132 ms from start-up.

INTRODUCTION
The WDT timer is a simple RC timer with a typical time-out period of about 18 ms. This time-out period is dependent on Voltage, Temperature and Silicon process variations. Hence the tolerance on the time-out period is very wide: Min. of 9 ms to a Max. of 33 ms (please refer to appropriate datasheet for device dependent value). There are applications where an additional timer would be useful as an approximate time keeper, hence getting a more precise value of the WDT time-out is useful. This Tech Brief implements an automatic calibration of the WDT time-out period on start-up.

CodeByte = 0xA5? No

Yes

IMPLEMENTATION
The hardware used for this brief is the PICDEM1 board. It is assumed that the main processor oscillator is an accurate crystal or ceramic resonator running at 4 MHz. The program flowchart is depicted in Figure 1. A check is made to see if a certain Codebyte exists, if it does not then a power-up is assumed and the calibration is executed. Note that instead of using the 8-bit wide CodeByte, the PD bit in the STATUS register could also be used for this very same purpose. The calibration uses an internal timed 1 ms interval. To get a better resolution, the WDT is postscaled by 4 in order to measure a longer time period . Every 1 ms interval is kept track by incrementing the WDTValue. The WDT will eventually time-out and cause a reset. The value in WDTValue in then divided by 4 to get the exact WDT time-out period and displayed as a binary number on PORTB. In order to check for repeatability, just press the reset button on the PICDEM1 board and the whole calibration process will be repeated. A power-down, followed by a power-up will also have the same effect. CodeByte = 0xA5 WDTValue = 0 OPTION = 0B11111010
