Patent ID: 8410738

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a plurality of pins; a semiconductor chip having a plurality of pads which allow signals to be input and output, and configured to execute signal processing in one state selected from among a plurality of states according to at least one given setting voltage; and connection members configured to connect the plurality of pads to corresponding pins, wherein the plurality of pads comprises a first pad arranged on a path for a first signal which is set to a voltage that corresponds to a first level when the semiconductor device is in an active state, and which is input to the semiconductor chip from outside the semiconductor device, or which is output from the semiconductor chip to outside the semiconductor device, and at least one second pad configured to receive the aforementioned at least one setting voltage, and wherein the plurality of pins comprises a first pin which is connected to the first pad via the connection member, and which is configured to receive the first signal from outside the semiconductor device or from the semiconductor chip via the first pad, and a second pin configured to receive a second signal which is set to a voltage that corresponds to the first level or a second level that is the complement of the first level.
