Abstract
A semiconductor device includes first and second power supply terminals to which a first power supply voltage is supplied, a third power supply terminal to which a second power supply voltage is supplied, a power supply wiring coupled to the first and second power supply terminals, an abnormality detection circuit which diagnoses the first power supply terminal, a first current generation circuit which flows a current from the power supply wiring to the third power supply terminal in a diagnosis, and a second current generation circuit which couples to the power supply wiring at a vicinity of the first power supply terminal and flows a current from the power supply wiring to the third power supply terminal in the diagnosis. And, the abnormality detection circuit compares a voltage of the first current generation circuit with a voltage of the second current generation circuit in the diagnosis.
