Accurate RTC with integrated quartz crystal for industrial applications
• The countdown timer has four selectable source clocks allowing for countdown
periods from less than 1 ms to more than 4 hours (see Section 8.11.4)
To control the timer functions and timer output, the registers Control_2, Watchdg_tim_ctl,
and Watchdg_tim_val are used.
