Abstract

A reset circuit, which generates a reset signal for initializing an internal circuit of an integrated circuit device having an auto-loading function, includes a first register which stores a predetermined expected value data; a second register holding data which was auto-loaded; and a data comparison circuit which performs a comparison between the data held in the second register and the expected value data stored in the first register, and generates the reset signal based on a result of the comparison.
