Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device capable of simplifying a trimming operation. A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes a power supply circuit and a trimming circuit. The power supply circuit includes a reference voltage generation circuit that generates a plurality of reference voltages used at the time of a trimming operation, and a voltage generation circuit that generates a plurality of power supply voltages used by a semiconductor storage device. The semiconductor device adjusts a specific reference voltage using an external reference voltage at the time of the trimming operation, and then determines trimming codes corresponding to the adjustment amounts of the power supply voltages using a plurality of reference voltages generated using the adjusted specific reference voltage and a plurality of power supply voltages corresponding to the reference voltages.
