ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes both a logic circuit and a macro circuit. The macro circuit includes a circuit that consumes direct current (DC). In order to conserve power and allow for testing, the consumption of DC by the current consumption circuit can be stopped with a stop signal, which stops the operation of the macro circuit. The macro circuit can be restarted or returned to normal operation mode without risk of error caused by the stopping of the macro circuit.
