PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for reducing unnecessary power consumption, improving uniformity in operation characteristics, and for reducing development costs, relating to a semiconductor device for tuners and diversity receivers. SOLUTION: The semiconductor device for a tuner comprises a means for selecting whether a local oscillation signal is generated inside or it is introduced from outside, and a means for controlling power consumption of the circuit generating the local oscillation signal. A diversity receiver constituting it comprises a semiconductor device 1 having selected to generate the local oscillation signal inside, and a semiconductor device 2 having selected to introduce the local oscillation signal from outside. The local oscillation signal of the semiconductor device 2 is driven by the local oscillation signal of the semiconductor device 1. Consequently, unnecessary power consumption is reduced in the circuit generating the local oscillation signal of the semiconductor device 2. With the same semiconductor device, uniformity can be improved in operation characteristics of the diversity reception. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
