Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a first mode in which the semiconductor device is used alone and a second mode in which the semiconductor device is used in combination with another semiconductor device. In case that one driven device is driven using the semiconductor device in the first mode and the second mode, power supply lines are caused to allow electrical conduction to each other outside of each semiconductor device in order to cancel errors of operation power supply voltages of each semiconductor device. In case that a power supply unit of each semiconductor device is operable by receiving an instruction for release of a low power consumption state, a supply start timing of the operation power supply voltages in the second mode is delayed as compared to that in the first mode.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for controlling operation of a semiconductor device comprising a power supply unit and drive circuitry, the method comprising:\n supplying an operation voltage to the drive circuitry through a power supply line from the power supply unit by starting the supply of the operation voltage and releasing a discharge of the power supply line; cutting off the supply of the operation voltage to the drive circuitry by stopping the supply of the operation voltage and starting to discharge the power supply line; shifting supply start timings of the operation voltage when operating the semiconductor device in a first operation mode relative to operating the semiconductor device in a second operation mode; and controlling timings of releasing the discharge of the power supply line to be the same in the first and second operation modes.
