In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a microcontroller device that has, in one chip: a central processing unit; a plurality of peripheral circuits configured to execute respective prescribed processes in response to corresponding trigger signals; and a peripheral control unit that controls respective activations of the plurality of peripheral circuits, wherein at least one of the peripheral circuits is configured to: control operation of an external device; determine whether or not the operation of the external device has ended without an error; enter a standby mode to accept a next trigger signal when the operation of the external device ended without an error; and generate an interrupt signal to interrupt the central processing unit when the operation of the external device ended with an error.

Microcontroller and method for controlling peripheral circuits

Data output apparatus registers special format data added to specific character data together therewith in a registered word memory. When sentence data is read out from a sentence memory, the character data included in the sentence data and coinciding with the specific character data is automatically printed with the special format data.
