Abstract
A microcontroller includes two processing blocks that respectively have a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and a peripheral circuit, where an access to the peripheral circuit in each of the processing blocks, that is, to a Read-Only Memory (ROM) or a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) signal generator, is limited only from the CPU disposed in the same processing block. Thereby a fail-safe functionality of the microcontroller is improved.
