ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes a nonvolatile memory configured to store write data in a write-enabled state, a check circuit configured to enable the write data as data for comparison in response to an enabled-status indicating signal indicative of the write-enabled state and to output a result of comparison obtained by comparing data read from the nonvolatile memory with the enabled data for comparison, and a path configured to output the result of comparison output from the check circuit to outside the semiconductor device, wherein no path to output the data read from the nonvolatile memory to outside the semiconductor device is in existence.
