Reset signal control apparatus for protecting a microcomputer
Abstract:
A reset signal control apparatus outputs a reset signal to a microcomputer to restrict a malfunction of the microcomputer when the microcomputer is started. The reset signal control apparatus outputs the reset signal to the microcomputer at least until a clock signal provided by an oscillation circuit and based on which the microcomputer operates is stabilized. The reset signal control apparatus includes a power supply section, a measuring section, and an output ending section. The power supply section supplies a power to the oscillation circuit and the microcomputer. The measuring section measures a consumption current of the oscillation circuit and the microcomputer. The output ending section determines that the clock signal provided by the oscillation circuit is stabilized and ends an output of the reset signal to the microcomputer when the consumption current becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value.
