A semiconductor device is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes an internal circuit having a high breakdown voltage transistor, and a first electrostatic protection circuit in which electrostatic protection elements are connected in series. The sum of the breakdown voltage values of the electrostatic protection elements in the first electrostatic protection circuit is almost equal to the breakdown voltage value of the high breakdown voltage transistor. The first electrostatic protection circuit is connected between an input/output terminal and a ground terminal of the semiconductor device to which terminals the internal circuit is connected.

An information reproduction device capable of a more appropriate frequency monitoring of a read clock, as compared to conventional devices, is realized. By providing the information reproduction device with a frequency difference detection means which detects a difference in frequencies between a read clock, obtained by applying PLL to a reproduction signal read from a recording medium, and a reference clock; an information processing means which performs signal processing on the reproduction signal and outputs a processing status information indicating whether or not the information processing is performed normally; and a frequency monitoring means which monitors whether or not the frequency of the read clock is normal based on the frequency difference and the processing status information; wherein the frequency monitoring means makes a transition to an OK status which indicates that the frequency of the read clock is normal when the processing status information is indicating a normal status; and makes a transition to a NG status which indicates that the frequency of the read clock is abnormal when the processing status information is indicating an abnormal status and the difference of the frequencies exceeds a first threshold; and returns to an OK status when the difference of the frequencies is below a second threshold during the NG status.

The present invention makes it possible to set an operating condition enabling the best recording characteristic to be obtained for any kind of recording media, even in the case where the recording medium is combined with any kind of drive devices. According to the present invention, even in the case where a unknown and new kind of recording medium is loaded into the drive device, a piece of first operating condition information for an optical system suitable for a combination of the drive device and the new kind of recording media is read from a specific read only area provided for the recording medium, and an operating condition enabling the best operating characteristic to be obtained is set by using the first operating condition information, as a result of which even in the case where any kind of recording medium and any kind of drive device are combined, the operating condition for enabling the best recording characteristic to be obtained for the recording medium, can be set in the drive device.
