A semiconductor device in which the area of a circuit that is unnecessary during normal operation is small. The semiconductor device includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit includes a third circuit storing at least one pair of first data including a history of a branch instruction and a first address corresponding to the branch instruction; a fourth circuit comparing a second address of an instruction and the first address; and a fifth circuit selecting the first data of one pair among the at least one pair in accordance with a comparison result. The second circuit includes a plurality of sixth circuits having a function of generating a signal for testing operation of the first circuit in accordance with second data, and a function of storing the at least one pair together with the second circuit after the operation is tested. |
