Title:
半導体集積回路及びその半導体集積回路を含んだ半導体システム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4754355
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
For detecting a failure of a logic circuit 11 provided in a semiconductor integrated circuit due to deterioration with age, or the like, there is provided a reference-producing circuit 12 using a logic different from the logic of the logic circuit 11 . The reference-producing circuit 12 produces an abnormal/normal determination reference S for a predetermined output signal out output from the logic circuit 11 . The reference-producing circuit 12 is made from only a portion of the logic of the logic circuit 11 or with a logic totally different from the logic of the logic circuit 11 to produce the determination reference S, so that the circuit scale of the reference-producing circuit 12 is smaller than that of the logic circuit 11 . The determination reference S from the reference-producing circuit 12 and the output signal out from the logic circuit 11 are compared with each other by a determination circuit 13.
