Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a microcontroller which can continue operation even at the time of a failure without making a memory redundant to suppress increase in chip area. The microcontroller includes three or more processors executing the same process in parallel and a storage device. The storage device includes a memory mat having a storage region which is not redundant, an address selection part, a data output part, and a failure recovery part. The address selection part selects a storage region in the memory mat on the basis of three or more addresses issued at the time of an access by the processors. The data output part reads data from the storage region in the memory mat selected by the address selection part. The failure recovery part corrects or masks a failure of predetermined number or less which occurs in the memory mat, the address selection part, and the data output part.
