Abstract
The semiconductor device includes a Hall element, a first differential pair, a second differential pair, an output amplifier circuit, and a voltage divider circuit. The Hall element outputs a signal that is dependent on stress to be applied to a semiconductor substrate to the first differential pair. The voltage divider circuit divides a voltage into a divided voltage having a voltage dividing ratio that is dependent on the stress. The first differential pair outputs a first current based on the signal. The second differential pair outputs a second current based on the divided voltage and a reference voltage. The output amplifier circuit outputs a voltage based on the first and second currents. A gain of the output amplifier circuit is approximated by a sum of a difference between stress dependence coefficients of transconductances of the first and second differential pairs and a stress dependence coefficient of the voltage dividing ratio.
