Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a DSP (Digital Signal
Processor), a CPU for controlling the DSP and an interface
circuit. The interface circuit comprises an input circuit, a
gain-adjusting circuit and an output circuit. The input
circuit inputs a digital signal and supplies the signal to the
DSP synchronously with a first clock signal. The gain-adjusting
circuit is capable of adjusting the gain of the
digital signal supplied to the input circuit. The output
circuit adds a digital signal received from the DSP to the
digital signal with the gain thereof adjusted and outputs a
signal obtained as a result of the addition synchronously with
the first clock signal. A signal path extended from the input
circuit through the gain-adjusting circuit to the output
circuit forms hardware. A digital signal to be transmitted
propagates through the hardware to be subjected to the so-called
side-tone processing. As a result, it is possible to provide
a semiconductor device capable of generating a side tone without
increasing the magnitude of a load borne by a CPU and without
requiring an external circuit component.
