ABSTRACT:
A microcontroller including a CPU (Central Processor Unit) is capable of detecting the error of its structural part. The CPU executes a first initialization phase in response to a power-on reset signal output from a power-on reset circuit, then executes a second initialization phase in response to a start signal, and then executes usual processing. The CPU outputs a single timer run signal during first initialization phase and repeatedly outputs the timer run signals during usual processing. A watchdog timer starts timing in response to the timer run signal and then outputs an overflow signal on the elapse of a preselected period of time. After receiving the power-on reset signal from the power-on reset circuit, an error detector feeds the CPU with the start signal in response to an overflow signal output from the watchdog timer for the first time.
