Detailled Description of the Oscillator Watchdog Unit
Figure 5-7 shows the block diagram of the oscillator watchdog unit. It consists of an internal RC
oscillator which provides the reference frequency for the comparison with the frequency of the on-
chip oscillator. The RC oscillator can be enabled/disabled by the control pin OWE . If it is disabled
the complete unit has no function.
