Abstract

A coupling failure of a supply terminal or a ground terminal is easily detected. A diode is disposed between a supply terminal of a semiconductor device and a first I/O terminal so that the supply terminal is located on a cathode side, and the first I/O terminal is located on an anode side. A determination unit determines whether or not a voltage of the supply terminal is lower than a voltage of the first I/O terminal when a signal of high level equal to a supply voltage is input to the first I/O terminal.
