Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising a plurality of circuit blocks with a mutually same circuit configuration, wherein each of the circuit blocks includes: a first sub-block including a plurality of unit circuits arranged in a first direction; a second sub-block including a plurality of processing circuits, each of the processing circuits processing information obtained from an associated one of the unit circuits; and a third sub-block including a common circuit outputting one result from information obtained from the processing circuits, the first sub-block included in a first circuit block among the plurality of circuit blocks is arranged in a first area, and at least a part of the second sub-block included in the first circuit block and either one of at least a part of the third sub-block included in the first circuit block and at least a part of the third sub-block included in a second circuit block among the plurality of circuit blocks are arranged side by side in the first direction in a second area that is located in a second direction that intersects with the first direction with respect to the first area.
