Abstract
A microcomputer includes a CPU, multiple resources, and an output circuit having an address decoder. The CPU outputs an address signal to the address decoder. The address decoder decodes the address signal and the output circuit outputs a select signal to at least one of the resources in accordance with the decoded address signal. Each of the resources is writable by the CPU when receiving the select signal. When the address signal indicates a predetermined address, the output circuit outputs the select signal to at least two of the resources at a time. Thus, data can be written to the multiple resources at a time. Therefore, the CPU can write the data to the multiple resources within a reduced time by using the output circuit.
