Chapter 8: Timers
8.4 System Watchdog Timer (SWDT)
In addition to the two CPU private watchdog timers, there is a system watchdog timer (SWDT) for
signaling additional catastrophic system failure, such as a PS PLL failure. Unlike the AWDT, the SWDT
can run off the clock from an external device or the PL, and provides a reset output to an external
device or the PL.
8.4.1 Features
Key features of the available timers/counters are as follows:
An internal 24-bit counter
Selectable clock input from:
°
Internal PS bus clock (CPU_1x)
°
Internal clock (from PL)
°
External clock (from MIO)
On timeout, outputs one or a combination of:
°
System interrupt (PS)
°
System reset (PS, PL, MIO)
Programmable timeout period:
°
Timeout range 32,760 to 68,719,476,736 clock cycles (330 µs to 687.2s at 100 MHz)
Programmable output signal duration on timeout:
°
System interrupt pulse 4, 8, 16, or 32 clock cycles (CPU_1x clock)
