Abstract
The present invention makes it possible to process a plurality of commands included in a series of communication processes in a shared manner by a plurality of circuit parts, thereby improving reliability and processing performance. A semiconductor integrated circuit for communication () includes: a plurality of first circuit parts () that are responsible for communicating with a higher-level apparatus (); a plurality of second circuit parts (), which analyze a command included in a series of communication processes, and which share the processing of a plurality of commands included in the series of processes with another second circuit part; a common connector () for connecting the first circuit parts to the second circuit parts; and a failure management part (), which, when a failure has occurred in any circuit part, causes the stoppage of processing by a stop-target circuit part that must stop processing.
