ABSTRACT:
A microcomputer comprises a timer controller for detecting a time when a disabled state in which interrupts are disabled starts and a time when the disabled state ends, a count timer which starts a counting operation when the timer controller detects a time when the disabled state starts, for measuring a period of time during which interrupts are disabled, and a comparator which receives a current count value of the count timer when the disabled state ends, and, when determining that the current count value is larger than a maximum of count values previously received which is stored in a register for storing a maximum of interrupt-disabled time periods, stores the current count value in the register.
