Abstract
An excluding unit is controlled by a control signal received from a control unit, and based on the control signal a determination is made for each of circuit blocks as to whether either a voltage signal at a position of its corresponding circuit block or a signal indicating a voltage is outputted to a selection unit. From a circuit block which is not in operation, the voltage, but not a voltage signal at a position of the circuit block, is outputted to the selection unit. By this, the circuit block which is not in operation cannot be judged to have voltage drop, and accordingly, a high supply voltage cannot be supplied. Consequently, a malfunction caused by supply voltages to other circuit blocks being too high does not occur.
