Abstract
A microcomputer and memory control method for the same can reduce the number of parts, cost, and the total surface area required to mount the parts, and thus miniaturize the device in which the microcomputer is incorporated. A microcomputer with a CPU and memory storing a program executed by the CPU comprises a block access nonvolatile memory for storing the program; at least one random access memory unit for temporarily storing an externally input program; and reads the program stored in the block access nonvolatile memory and stores the program in the random access memory as a program sequentially read and executed by the CPU.
