PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic reset circuit recovering a system by executing a hardware reset without using an MPU when occurring abnormality unrecoverable unless depending on the hardware reset.;SOLUTION: A power supply voltage settlement circuit 5 outputs a power supply voltage settlement signal 14, and reset signal output means 2 is started by a timer signal 11 outputted from a timer 1 and outputs a reset signal 10. When a computer starts, reset signal output control means 4 controls the reset signal output means 2, and firmware 6 operates the reset signal output control means 4, performs initialization of the timer 1 and a timer setting, and invalidates the timer signal 11. During the operation of the computer, an interruption detecting circuit 7 detects the execution of an interruption process by a lapse of a time of the timer 1 and outputs an interruption handler starting signal 13, and an interruption handler 6 is started by receiving the interruption handler starting signal 13, performs the initialization of the timer 1 and the timer setting, and invalidates the timer signal 11.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
