MICROCOMPUTER AND DEBUGGING SYSTEM

A microcomputer according to the present invention includes: collecting unit for generating and collecting a series of trace information for each execution process of a program to be evaluated in a preset sampling period for a predetermined number of repetitions; outputting circuit for outputting the series of the trace information for each repetition; and decimating circuit for deleting any of the trace information collected at each repetition so that the outputting circuit can output all of the trace information to be collected within the sampling period when the collecting circuit has finished repetitive collection process.
