Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device including: a pulse-width modulation circuit configured to pulse-width modulate a signal based on a first pulse-code modulated signal that is a sound source signal, and output a first pulse-width modulated signal; a first conversion circuit configured to convert a second pulse-width modulated signal based on the first pulse-width modulated signal into a second pulse-code modulated signal; and a comparison circuit configured to convert the first pulse-code modulated signal into a first comparison target signal by an inversely convertible conversion method, convert the second pulse-code modulated signal into a second comparison target signal by the conversion method, and compare the first comparison target signal with the second comparison target signal.
