#84109 - Watchdog + Reset generator
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Use the DS1232 or the MAX1232, they also give you the CPU Reset signal. They have an in-built watchdog timer.

A very valuable recommendation, indeed.
These chips offer you

1) POR generation (Power On Reset)
2) Brown-out detection (at 5% or 10% of VCC)
3) Manual Reset
4) Watchdog timer

and all above resulting in a very reliable startup.

I would suggest you not to fabricate your own using discrete components, buy a ready made chip (eliminate the variables needed to be analyzed when CPU wouldn't start)
