Abstract

A system-in-package type semiconductor device includes a plurality of semiconductor chips, a first semiconductor chip 1110 to which electric power is supplied from first power supply wiring 1111 , and first ground wiring 1112 to which the first circuit unit is coupled. Moreover, the system-in-package type semiconductor device includes a second semiconductor chip 1120 to which electric power is supplied from second power supply wiring 1124 , and second ground wiring 1125 coupled to the second circuit unit. The first semiconductor chip includes a first interface circuit unit 1412 , and the second circuit unit includes a second interface circuit unit 1121 configured to perform inputting or outputting of a signal to and from the first interface circuit unit. The first ground wiring 1414 is coupled to the second ground wiring 1424 through a protection circuit 1442 , and the second interface circuit unit is placed in the vicinity of the first interface circuit unit.
