    摘要: The present invention provides a semiconductor device and a failure detection method capable of detecting an excessive variation among elements that constitute an analog circuit as a failure. According to an embodiment, a semiconductor device 1 includes: an AD converter 11; a digital assist circuit 12 that corrects an error of a digital signal Do corresponding to an analog signal Ain processed by the AD converter 11; and a failure detection circuit 13 that detects whether the AD converter 11 has a failure based on a correction amount by the digital assist circuit. The semiconductor device 1 is therefore able to detect the excessive variation among the elements that constitute the AD converter 11 as a failure.

    摘要: A semiconductor communication device reduces influence of noise that is produced by applying a dither signal. The semiconductor communication device includes a Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converter that converts input analog signals to digital signals, a power detecting unit that detects signal power of the digital signals, a gain control unit that changes a gain setting of analog signals to be input to the Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converter depending on the signal power of the digital signals, and a dither signal control unit that causes the Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converter to selectively add the dither signal when the gain setting changes.

    摘要: A wiring pattern for oscillation input signal and a wiring pattern for oscillation output signal are provided on a printed circuit board, and a wiring pattern for ground power source voltage is arranged in a region therebetween. A quartz crystal unit is connected between the wiring pattern for oscillation input signal and the wiring pattern for oscillation output signal and one ends of capacitors serving as load capacitors thereof are connected to the wiring pattern for ground power source voltage. Further, a wiring pattern for VSS is arranged so as to enclose these wiring patterns, and a wiring pattern for VSS is arranged also in a lower layer in addition thereto. By this means, reduction of a parasitic capacitance between an XIN node and an XOUT node, improvement in noise tolerance of these nodes and others can be achieved.
