Abstract
To provide a semiconductor device having a monitoring function with a higher degree of freedom. The semiconductor device includes: a function part that executes a predetermined process triggered according to an activation signal sent from an external device and outputs a completion signal after the predetermined process is completed; a first clocking part that monitors a first abnormality in the predetermined process based on the activation signal and the completion signal; and a branch part pair including a first branch part and a second branch part, wherein the first branch part branches the activation signal and then sends the branched activation signal to the function part and the first clocking part, and the second branch part branches the completion signal and then sends the branched completion signal to the first clocking part and the external device.
