A semiconductor apparatus includes an input terminal to which an input voltage is applied; an output terminal at which an output voltage is obtained; a power supply circuit unit configured to generate the output voltage from the input voltage, the output voltage having a value corresponding to a duty cycle of a voltage setting signal that is externally applied to the semiconductor apparatus; and a determination circuit unit determining whether the voltage setting signal has a predetermined signal level for the duration of a first predetermined time or longer. The determination circuit unit activates the power supply circuit unit when the voltage setting signal does not have the predetermined signal level for the duration of the first predetermined time or longer. The power supply circuit unit is deactivated when the voltage setting signal has the predetermined signal level for the duration of the first predetermined time or longer. |
