13.5.4 System Reset by WDTOVF Signal
If the WDTOVF signal is input to the RES pin of this LSI, this LSI cannot be initialized correctly.
Avoid input of the WDTOVF signal to the RES pin of this LSI through glue logic circuits. To
reset the entire system with the WDTOVF signal, use the circuit shown in figure 13.6.

13.5.5 Manual Reset in Watchdog Timer Mode
When a manual reset occurs in watchdog timer mode, the bus cycle is continued. If a manual reset
occurs while the bus is released or during burst transfer by the direct memory access controller,
manual reset exception handling will be pended until the CPU acquires the bus mastership.
13.5.6 Internal Reset in Watchdog Timer Mode
When an internal reset is generated by an overflow of the watchdog timer counter (WTCNT) in
watchdog timer mode, the watchdog reset control/status register (WRCSR) is not initialized and
the WOVF bit is set to 1. When the value of the WOVF bit is 1, no internal reset is generated
when a WTCNT overflow occurs.
