When the startup delay expires, the watchdog device receives its first valid watchdog input transition begins counting its normal watchdog timeout period (there is no fixed period by which the first input must be and waiting for WDI transitions.

WDI transitions are ignored when WDO is transition is not recognized at WDI before the watchdog asserted, and during the startup delay period (Figure timeout period has expired, the supervisor asserts a 2). Watchdog input transitions are also ignored for a watchdog output. Watchdog timeout periods vary setup period, tSETUP, of up to 300µs after power-up or between the different devices and may be altered by a setting change (Figure 3). the logic control set pins.

Timeout settings The startup delay and the watchdog timeout period are can be hard wired, or they can be controlled with logic determined by the states of the SET0, SET1, and SET2 gates and modified during operation. To ensure smooth pins, and by the particular device within the family. For transitions, the system should strobe WDI immediately the MAX6369 and MAX6370, the startup delay is equal before the timing settings are changed. This minimizes to the watchdog timeout period. The startup and the risk of initializing a setting change too late in the watchdog timeout periods are pin selectable from 1ms timer countdown period and generating undesired to 60s (minimum). watchdog outputs. After changing the timing settings, two outcomes are possible based on WDO.
