A semiconductor device includes a first circuit 1 and a second circuit 2 that are connected in series, a first terminal T1 that applies a first potential to a first power supply line DL1 of the first circuit 1, a second terminal T2 that applies a second potential to a second power supply line DL2 of the second circuit 2, a third terminal T3 that is connected to a signal transfer line of the first circuit 1, and a protection circuit that is connected to the third terminal T3, and discharges a current from the third terminal T3 to a fourth terminal T4 when a potential of the third terminal T3 becomes higher than a first threshold value. The first power supply line DL1 and the second power supply line DL2 are separated, and the fourth terminal T4 is not directly connected to the first power supply line DL1 and is electrically connected to a lead.
