Abstract
A semiconductor apparatus includes a debugging processor that performs a debugging operation related to at least one selected intellectual property (IP) block from among a plurality of IP blocks. The debugging processor includes a debugging executing unit, a secure mode setting unit, and a debugging secure unit. The debugging executing unit disables a secure mode in response to a first control signal having a first value and performs the debugging operation related to the at least one selected IP block based on input data. The secure mode setting unit generates, in response to a second control signal, an enable signal for instructing re-enabling of the secure mode regardless of whether the semiconductor apparatus is powered off. The debugging secure unit generates the first control signal having the first value when the input data is verified data.
