  • Patent number: 5655070
    Abstract: According to the microprocessor malfunction operation preventing circuit of this invention, when the source voltage of a microprocessor is reduced to a prescribed voltage level between the value of a second source voltage (battery voltage) and the upper limit value of an operation unsteady region of the microprocessor, the microprocessor is enforcedly reset. Therefore, the microprocessor can be prevented from falling into its malfunction operation state, and the microprocessor can be freely actuated with any one of the main power source and the auxiliary power source.
