A semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a first module that issues a first transaction from a first interface unit to be a bus master, a second module that includes a second interface unit to be a bus slave and a third interface unit to be a bus master, and issues a second transaction in response to the first transaction, a third module that receives the second transaction by a fourth interface unit to be a bus slave, a bus master stop request control unit that asserts a bus master stop request and completes an assertion process in response to assertion of a bus master stop acknowledgement, and a code addition unit that adds to the first transaction a compulsory process request code for forcing issuance of the second transaction regardless of the bus master stop request.
