Abstract
A method of measuring a time which a timing-stabilization circuit requires in order to complete timing stabilization with regard to a semiconductor device provided with a first function to reset the timing-stabilization circuit and a second function to output a signal indicative of completion of the timing stabilization is disclosed. The method includes the steps of a) activating the timing-stabilization circuit, b) detecting a timing of the completion of the timing stabilization by using the second function, and c) measuring the time which the timing-stabilization circuit requires to complete the timing stabilization based on the timing.
