 		 #100235 - a watchdog is not needed to ensure a rel
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Is it necessary for a reliable system using both of supervisor and watchdog together,with the other phrase does watchdog reset the mcu after power failure?
a watchdog is not needed to ensure a relaible system, if you Can guarantee 110% that the system will stay relaiable. The purpose of the watchdog is to cause a reset when the system for any reason e.g. EMI becomes unreliable. If you can guarantee 110% that the system will stay relaiable you are an incurable optimist. Thus DO include a watchdog.
The watchdog does not "reset the mcu after power failure" that is the job of the supervisor.
