A microcomputer is provided, which eliminates the need of input of a selection signal to select whether an external oscillator element is connected to generate an internal clock signal or an external clock signal is inputted to generate an internal clock signal. In this microcomputer, a delay circuit generates a delayed reset signal from an external reset signal to have a specific delay period. An external clock signal detection circuit detects an external clock signal at a second terminal, outputting a detection signal. An oscillation control signal generation circuit generates an oscillation control signal for an amplifier circuit, where the oscillation control signal is generated corresponding to a detection signal outputted from an external clock signal detection circuit. The oscillation control signal is used to activate the amplifier when the external clock signal does not exist at the second terminal and to inactivate the amplifier when the external clock signal exists at the second terminal. These operations are conducted in the specific delay period of the delayed reset signal.
