Abstract

A method for operating a microprocessor (10) which can be switched by an activation signal (23) at an interrupt input (15) from an inactive operating state to an active operating state, with the activation signal (23) being supplied to the interrupt input (15) after a predeterminable time after each entrance into the inactive state.
