A low-voltage detection circuit that is small in size and accurate in detecting a reduction in a power supply voltage is offered. The low-voltage detection circuit of an embodiment of this invention detects a low voltage using a voltage follower type operational amplifier and an A/D converter instead of a conventional low-voltage detection circuit.

The converted value (the digital value) from the A/D converter is set in a register and statuses of a microcomputer are set as in the conventional art, using the converted value as a flag.
