Abstract
The semiconductor device includes a first current generation circuit configured to generate a first current, a second current generation circuit configured to generate a second current from the first current, a third current generation circuit configured to generate a third current from the second current, a voltage-current conversion circuit configured to apply the third current to a diode and convert a generated voltage into a fourth current, a fourth current generation circuit configured to generate a fifth current from the fourth current, and an arithmetic circuit configured to generate a temperature signal from the fifth current.
