Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first pad, a comparison circuit, and a control circuit. A first voltage may be applicable to the first pad. The comparison circuit may include a first input terminal connected to the first pad, a second input terminal to which a second voltage is applicable, and an output terminal configured to output a comparison result between the first voltage and the second voltage. The control circuit may be configured to output, external to the semiconductor device, a signal based on the comparison result.
