Abstract
Disclosed is a microcomputer capable of working in emulation mode with internal and external peripherals. The microcomputer comprises a central processing unit, an internal address decoder, an internal memory and internal peripherals connected to a data and address bus. The central processing unit has input/output ports for external access in user mode according to the invention. The input/output ports are connected to the external peripherals and to an external address decoder. The external address decoder sends out a signal applied to the central processing unit to block the pre-loading of the internal address decoder when an external peripheral is selected in emulation mode.
