#179657 - If one watchdog fails...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
If one watchdog fails, the second one is not likely to fail as well.

I'm not sure that holds (or, at least, not so well) if both watchdogs are on the same chip?

Hence I agree with both you and Oliver in recommending a separate watchdog chip.
