Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a power gating control block and a power gating circuit. The power gating control block activates a data power control signal during a period that is set by a target code, the period being from a point in time in which the semiconductor device enters a read mode or a write mode. In addition, the power gating control block deactivates an operation power control signal in a power-down mode. The power gating circuit inhibits a data power signal from being supplied to a data input/output block based on the data power control signal. Moreover, the power gating control block inhibits an operation power signal from being supplied to an internal operation control block based on the operation power control signal.
