Abstract
An LSI core includes a first terminal; a second terminal; and a voltage generation circuit for generating a voltage. The first terminal is connected to a first external line provided outside the LSI core. The second terminal is connected to the first external line and to a second external line provided outside the LSI core. The voltage generation circuit includes a voltage generation section for generating the voltage, an output section for outputting the voltage generated by the voltage generation section to the first external line through the first terminal, and an input section for receiving the voltage, output to the first external line by the output section, through the second external line and the second terminal.
