Summary:According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes: an integrated circuit that has a plurality of power consumption modes different in power consumption; a temperature detection circuit that detects temperature of the integrated circuit; a counter that measures time taken for temperature change in the integrated circuit; and a state machine that causes a state transition to take place in the integrated circuit based on the temperature detected by the temperature detection circuit and the time measured by the counter, wherein the integrated circuit selects the power consumption mode based on the state subjected to transition by the state machine.
