Abstract

A reset circuit is suggested for a microprocessor with which the microprocessor is reset, if the predetermined program ranges are left. During each cyclical input signal it is determined whether an output signal appears after a predetermined time. If this is not the case the reset process is performed. The reset process is also initiated if a predetermined output of the microprocessor remains in a defined position over an unduly long time.
