ABSTRACT:
A circuit for preventing malfunctions in a microprocessor or a central processing unit due to static electricity includes: malfunction detection circuitry for detecting a malfunction of the microprocessor from a predetermined signal generated from the microprocessor; a reset signal generator for generating a reset signal for resetting the microprocessor according to a malfunction detection signal generated from the malfunction detection circuitry; and reset summing circuitry for generating a synthesized reset signal by synthesizing the reset signal with a power reset signal, and resetting the microprocessor by providing the synthesized reset signal to the microprocessor.
