AT89LP216 [Preliminary]
20.1 Software Reset
A Software Reset of the AT89LP216 is accomplished by writing the software reset sequence
5AH/A5H to the WDTRST SFR. The WDT does not need to be enabled to generate the software
reset. A normal software reset will set the SWRST flag in WDTCON. However, if at any time an
incorrect sequence is written to WDTRST (i.e. anything other than 1EH/E1H or 5AH/A5H), a
software reset will immediately be generated and both the SWRST and WDTOVF flags will be
set. In this manner an intentional software reset may be distinguished from a software error-gen-
erated reset. The program sequence to generate a software reset is as follows:
MOV WDTRST, #05Ah
MOV WDTRST, #0A5h

PS0 Prescaler bits for the watchdog timer (WDT). When all three bits are cleared to 0, the watchdog timer has a nominal
period of 16K clock cycles. When all three bits are set to 1, the nominal period is 2048K clock cycles.
WDIDLE Disable/enable the Watchdog Timer in IDLE mode. When WDIDLE = 0, WDT continues to count in IDLE mode. When
WDIDLE = 1, WDT freezes while the device is in IDLE mode.
SWRST Software Reset Flag. Set when a software reset is generated by writing the sequence 5AH/A5H to WDTRST. Also set
when an incorrect sequence is written to WDTRST. Must be cleared by software.
WDTOVF Watchdog Overflow Flag. Set when a WDT rest is generated by the WDT timer overflow. Also set when an incorrect
sequence is written to WDTRST. Must be cleared by software.
WDTEN Watchdog Enable Flag. This bit is READ-ONLY and reflects the status of the WDT (whether it is running or not). The
WDT is disabled after any reset and must be re-enabled by writing 1EH/E1H to WDTRST

The WDT is enabled by writing the sequence 1EH/E1H to the WDTRST SFR. The current status may be checked by reading
the WDTEN bit in WDTCON. To prevent the WDT from resetting the device, the same sequence 1EH/E1H must be written to
WDTRST before the time-out interval expires. A software reset is generated by writing the sequence 5AH/A5H to WDTRST.
