A microcomputer includes a ROM storing various instruction codes including an invalidation instruction code for invalidating a content of an instruction decoder. The invalidation instruction code is read from the ROM and decoded in order to produce an invalidation control signal when a predetermined security execution condition is established. Thus, the security of data contained in the instruction decoder is improved by the ability to physically invalidate an operation of the instruction decoder by writing a predetermined value into the instruction decoder or by erasing its content. |
