8.5.1.3 WatchDog interrupts
The generation of interrupts from the WatchDog functions is controlled via the WatchDog
interrupt enable bits; WDIEA and WDIEB. These bits are in registers INTA_enable
(address 29h) and INTB_enable (address 2Ah).
The assertion of the flag WDF can be used to generate an interrupt at pins INTA and
INTB. The interrupt may be generated as a pulsed signal every time the WatchDog
counter reaches the end of the countdown period. Alternatively as a permanently active
signal which follows the condition of bit WDF. WDF remains set until cleared by command.
When enabled, interrupts are triggered every time the WatchDog counter reaches the end
of the countdown period and even if the WDF is not cleared, an interrupt pulse can be
generated.
See Section 8.9 on page 38 for interrupt control.

The PCF85263A provides a free RAM byte, which can be used for any purpose, for
example, status bits of the system.
8.7 Timestamps
There are three timestamp registers which can be independently configured to record the
time for battery switch-over events and/or transitions on the TS pin.
Each timestamp register has an associated flag. It is also possible to generate an interrupt
signal for every timestamp register update.
