#49166 - RE: why no 555
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The 555 is unable to do the watchdog functionality on a single chip:

A watchdog consist of a transition sensitive retriggerable monoflop followed by a flipflop, which periodically fire an release the reset pin until the watchdog was correct triggered again.

So you need many more as only a single 555.
Maybe a 74HC123 can do it with some external RC.

Also a watchdog should have a defined power on/off behaviour but the 555 or 74HC123 don't have.
