Abstract
The wrong operation preventing circuit is supplied for preventing such accidents as destruction of data and the like, comprising a memory cell section, a sense amplifier and a operation judgement section. The memory cell section is placed at a furthest position from the sense amplifier, the sense amplifier detects the change of voltage on bit line, and the operation judgement section monitors the output of the sense amplifier and outputs a signal for controlling whether the CPU needs to reset.
Claims5
A wrong operation preventing circuit for preventing the wrong operation of semiconductor unit including memory and CPU from happening, comprising:
- a detection use memory cell section serving as a judgement object of said wrong operation, which is installed at said memory and is formed from at least one memory cell;
- a bit line which is connected with said detection use memory cell section and is added by pre-charge voltage synchronizing with clock signal;
- a voltage detection section for detecting the dropping of said pre-charge voltage added on said bit line;
- a operation judgement section which outputs a reset signal to said CPU when the dropping voltage detected by said voltage detection section is bigger than a predetermined value.
