A microcomputer system having a central processor, a plurality of memory types and a bus interface circuit is configured to allow an external device to download and upload data to/from the various memories using a download circuit connected to the plurality of memories via the bus interface circuit. In operation, a first reset signal, a second reset signal and a mode set signal operate to control whether the central processor or the download circuit will be active, and whether a selector will couple the central processing unit or the download circuit to the bus interface circuit.

The present invention aims at offering the semiconductor device which can improve the strength to the stress generated with a bonding pad. In the semiconductor device concerning the present invention, a plurality of bonding pads are formed on a semiconductor chip. In each bonding pad, a plurality of second line-like metals are formed under the first metal formed using the wiring layer of the top layer. And a bonding pad is put in order and located along the long-side direction of a second metal to achieve the above objects. That is, a bonding pad is put in order and located so that the long-side direction of a second metal and the arrangement direction of a bonding pad may become in the same direction.

A microcomputer for checking a flag in a flag circuit to determine whether or not to decrement a count of a program counter. If the flag indicates execution of a STOP instruction, the program counter value is decremented so that the address of a destination to return to at the end of debug interrupt handling is replaced by the address of the STOP instruction. If the flag gives any other indication, the program counter value is used unchanged as the return destination address that will be in effect at the end of debug interrupt handling.

In a level conversion circuit, two P channel MOS transistors form a current mirror circuit. When an input signal rises from the “L” level to the “H” level, an N channel MOS transistor connected to a drain of one P channel MOS transistor is brought out of conduction to prevent a leak current from flowing through two P channel MOS transistors, which decreases a power consumption. In addition, when the input signal rises from the “L” level to the “H” level, a P channel MOS transistor connected to a drain of the other P channel MOS transistor is brought into conduction to fix a potential of a node of the drain of the other P channel MOS transistor to the “H” level, which prevents the potential of the node from becoming unstable.

When a first signal is switched from an L level to an H level and a second signal is switched from an H level to an L level, and a first constant current source cannot follow the switching immediately thereafter and has not yet been switched, a first node remains at an H level, so an output node remains at an L level. In such state, a second node having been connected to a third node of an H level before the switching becomes connected to the first node of an H level by the switching. At the same time, the output part of an inverter is switched from an H level to an L level, causing the second node to be switched from an H level to an L level as well via a capacitor. At this time, the potential of the first node is reduced to become equal to the second node, to make a transition to an L level.

A semiconductor memory device pre-charges the electric potential of a selected bit line up to a predetermined electric potential, and judges the electric potential of the selected bit line on the basis of the predetermined electric potential as a threshold value after the pre-charge. Thereby, a semiconductor memory device capable of being read out at high speed can be realized.
