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. Incase 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.
