The maximum clock frequency that can be used with the internal oscillator is 20 MHz, but it's recommended to use 16 MHz or lower for optimal performance and to ensure that the device operates within its specifications.
To configure the watchdog timer, you need to set the WDT_CVAL register to the desired timeout value, enable the watchdog timer by setting the WDT_EN bit in the WDT_CS1 register, and configure the watchdog timer mode by setting the WDT_MODE bits in the WDT_CS1 register. You can also use the WDT_RST bit in the WDT_CS1 register to enable or disable the watchdog timer reset.
The maximum current that can be sourced or sunk by the GPIO pins is 25 mA, but it's recommended to limit the current to 10 mA or less to ensure that the device operates within its specifications and to prevent overheating.
To use the ADC, you need to configure the ADC channel by setting the ADC_SC2 register, enable the ADC by setting the ADC_SC1 register, and start the conversion by setting the ADC_SC3 register. You can then read the converted digital value from the ADC_R register. You can also use the ADC interrupts to trigger the conversion and read the result.
The COP module is a watchdog timer that monitors the device's operation and resets the device if it detects a fault or a malfunction. The COP module can be used to detect software faults, such as infinite loops or crashes, and to reset the device to a known good state.
