    Abstract: There is a need to provide a semiconductor device, a semiconductor system, and a semiconductor device manufacturing method capable of accurately monitoring a minimum operating voltage for a monitoring-targeted circuit. A monitor portion of a semiconductor system according to one embodiment includes a voltage monitor and a delay monitor. The voltage monitor is driven by power-supply voltage SVCC different from power-supply voltage VDD supplied to an internal circuit as a monitoring-targeted circuit and monitors power-supply voltage VDD. The delay monitor is driven by power-supply voltage VDD and monitors signal propagation time for a critical path in the internal circuit. The delay monitor is configured so that a largest on-resistance of on-resistances for a plurality of transistors configuring the delay monitor is smaller than a largest on-resistance of on-resistances for a plurality of transistors configuring the internal circuit.

    Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor device that can follow a fast voltage change such as a large voltage drop occurring at the time of rapid load fluctuation. The semiconductor device includes a voltage sensor which monitors a power supply voltage at a sampling speed higher than the assumed frequency of power supply voltage fluctuation and outputs a voltage code value, a voltage drop determination circuit which determines, from the voltage code value, that a voltage drop causing a malfunction of a system occurs, and outputs a clock stop signal, and a clock control circuit which controls clock stop, restart, and frequency change.
