Abstract
A semiconductor apparatus (IPD) includes a set value storage unit that stores a set value determined based on an initial characteristic value of the IPD, and a detector that detects characteristic degradation of the IPD based on a characteristic value of the IPD at given timing and the set value stored in the set value storage unit. Further, a method of detecting characteristic degradation of a semiconductor apparatus (IPD) includes storing a set value determined based on an initial characteristic value of the IPD, and detecting characteristic degradation of the IPD based on a characteristic value of the IPD at given timing and the stored set value.
