Abstract
A conventional semiconductor device has a problem that acquisition of variation information of circuit elements constructing the semiconductor device is not easy. According to an embodiment, a semiconductor device has a control circuit which makes an oscillation circuit operate by at least two operation current values, obtains first frequency information related to frequency of an output signal corresponding to a first operation current value and second frequency information related to frequency of an output signal corresponding to a second operation current value, and obtains manufacture variation information of a circuit element on the basis of the difference between the first and second frequency information.
