Abstract
A semiconductor device can reduce power consumption in a low power mode and includes a first input/output circuit configured to detect a first entry signal transiting at a first time and output a detection signal indicating an entry into a power saving mode according to a result of the detection. A second input/output circuit is configured to receive a second entry signal transiting at a second time earlier than the first time, and a control circuit is configured to block power supplied to the second input/output circuit in response to the detection signal indicating the entry.
