watchdog current consumption

Started by Felipe H February 20, 2008
Hi,

does anyone knows how many current the watchdog module consumes when active
and using ACKL (32.768khz)?
I'm using msp430f148.

Thanks

Beginning Microcontrollers with the MSP430

slau049.pdf, section: 2.3 exposes typical current consumption in active and low power modes. You may experiment by placing the device in a low power mode with the watchdog turned off versus a low power mode with the watchdog turned on. Does that help?
