  • Patent number: 7679411
    Abstract: A reset signal generation circuit for generating a reset signal synchronously or asynchronously to a clock signal in accordance with an operation state. An operation detection circuit detects operation of a CPU and generates an operation detection signal. A signal control circuit generates a first reset signal synchronously or asynchronously to an internal clock signal based on the operation detection signal and a system reset signal. The first reset signal is provided to synchronous circuits including the CPU.

  • Patent number: 7518390
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a pair of oscillator terminals that is respectively provided with two oscillation signals having phases opposite to each other. An oscillator circuit provides an internal circuit with a system clock signal based on the oscillation signals. A mode detection circuit detects that the pair of oscillator terminals is respectively provided with two input signals having the same phase, and provides a test circuit with a detection signal. The test circuit sets a test mode according to the detection signal, and provides the internal circuit with a predetermined test signal. By setting the test mode using a pair of external terminals, an increase in the number of external terminals of the semiconductor integrated circuit device can be prevented.
