Abstract
A semiconductor device that can have both noise resistance and ESD resistance is provided. The semiconductor device includes a first and a second digital circuits, a first and a second ground potential lines respectively provided corresponding to the first and the second digital circuits, a first and a second analog circuits, a third and a fourth ground potential lines respectively provided corresponding to the first and the second analog circuits, a first bidirectional diode group provided between the first and the second ground potential lines, a second bidirectional diode group provided between the third and the fourth ground potential lines, and a third bidirectional diode group provided between the first and the third ground potential lines. The number of stages of bidirectional diodes of the third bidirectional diode group is greater than that included in each of the first and the second bidirectional diode groups.
