    摘要: A semiconductor device has an internal circuit (2), a PAD, a NMOS Tr (QN) as a protective transistor formed between a node (N) on a signal line and a first power source (Vss), and a NOR gate (G1) as a logical gate connected to a gate as a control terminal of the NMOS transistor (QN). The internal circuit (2) is connected to the PAD through the signal line. The NOR gate (G1) keeps the protective transistor (QN) an OFF state during a normal operation of the internal circuit (2). In addition, the semiconductor device further includes a test circuit (21). The output from the NOR gate (G1), whose one input is the output from the test circuit (21), is supplied to the gate of the NMOS transistor (QN). The output from the test circuit (21) is thereby output to outside through the NMOS transistor (QN) and the PAD.

    摘要: A semiconductor IC device including a main circuit block and at least one subcircuit block, each having a ground terminal, a supply voltage terminal and an input or output terminal. A first ground line is connected to the ground terminal of the main circuit block and arranged within a wiring domain of the main circuit block and adjacent to the subcircuit blocks. A second ground line is connected to the ground terminal of the subcircuit block and arranged within a wiring domain of the subcircuit block and adjacent to the main circuit block. Protective elements are connected between the first and second ground lines so as to form short circuits through at least one of the first and second ground lines. In the IC device thus configured, all of the input and output terminals resist overvoltage, in every case where any one of the ground terminals and the supply voltage terminals is determined as a reference potential terminal, without complicating the protective element wiring arrangement or increasing the chip area and the cost thereof.
