Normal mode is enabled as long as the WINDOW bit field in the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA) is 0x0.

19.3.2.2 Window Mode

In window mode operation, the WDT uses two different timeout periods, a "closed" window timeout period

(TOWDTW) and the normal timeout period (TOWDT):

The closed window timeout period defines a duration from 8ms to 8s where the WDT cannot be reset. If

the WDT is reset during this period, the WDT will issue a System Reset.

The normal WDT timeout period, which is also 8ms to 8s, defines the duration of the "open" period during

which the WDT can (and should) be reset. The open period will always follow the closed period, so the

total duration of the timeout period is the sum of the closed window and the open window timeout periods.

When enabling window mode or when going out of debug mode, the first closed period is activated after

the first WDR instruction.

If a second WDR is issued while a previous WDR is being synchronized, the second one will be ignored.
