Abstract

Suggested is a circuit for operating computing components (10), in particular microprocessors, which include a monitoring unit (24) that transmits a reset signal (23) to the computing component (10) as a result of interferences (35). A varied program sequence is provided in the computing component (10), depending on a compare signal (17, 18) provided by a comparator (13), which compares a signal (12) with at least one threshold value (14, 15) that mirrors a condition of a device (31), which cooperates with the computing component (10). An adjustment device is planned as a preferred embodiment of a device (31), wherein the condition corresponds to at least one position range that is preferably located at least near at least one stop position (34) for the adjustment drive (31).
