Abstract
A microcontroller circuit is provided. The microcontroller circuit includes a memory, a check module, and a processor. The memory includes a main memory block and a backup memory block. The main memory block has a boot setting and the backup memory block has a backup boot setting. The check module includes a register. The processor is configured to determine whether the backup memory block of the memory has been backed up according to the register of the check module in response to a boot signal, and to compare the boot setting with the backup boot setting when the backup memory block of the memory has been backed up. When the boot setting is different from the backup boot setting, the processor is configured to perform a boot initialization procedure according to the backup boot setting.
