//! \section sec_wdt Introduction
//!
//! The watchdog timer (WDT) is used to regain control when the system has failed due to unexpected
//! software behavior. The WDT can generate a non-maskable interrupt (NMI), a regular interrupt, or a
//! reset if the software fails to reload the watchdog before it times out.
//!
//! WDT has the following features:
//! - 32-bit down counter with a programmable load register.
//! - Programmable interrupt generation logic with interrupt masking and optional NMI function.
//! - Optional reset generation.
//! - Register protection from runaway software (lock).
//! - User-enabled stalling when the system CPU asserts the CPU Halt flag during debug.
//!
//! After the first time-out event, the 32-bit counter is re-loaded with the value of the Load register,
//! and the timer resumes counting down from that value.
//! If the timer counts down to its zero state again before the first time-out interrupt is cleared,
//! and the reset signal has been enabled, the WDT asserts its reset signal to the system. If the interrupt
//! is cleared before the 32-bit counter reaches its second time-out, the 32-bit counter is loaded with the
//! value in the Load register, and counting resumes from that value.
//!
//! If Load register is written with a new value while the WDT counter is counting, then the counter is
//! loaded with the new value and continues counting.
//! Writing to the Load register does not clear an active interrupt. An interrupt must be explicitly cleared
//! by clearing the interrupt.
//!
//! The WDT counter runs at system HF clock divided by 32; however, when in powerdown it runs at
//! LF clock (32 kHz) - if the LF clock to the MCU domain has been enabled.
