In one embodiment, a semiconductor device () includes a semiconductor chip () in which functional blocks (etc.) and a temperature sensor () are integrated. In this embodiment, in response to a change in an operation state of the semiconductor device (), the on-chip temperature sensor () operates to switch from a continuous operation in which it continuously measures a chip temperature to an intermittent operation in which it intermittently measures the chip temperature, or to change a time interval between intermittent measurements of the chip temperature.
