    摘要: A BiCMOS circuit includes a CMOS circuit for inverting data applied to an input terminal and a first bipolar transistor, having a base connected to an output point of this CMOS circuit, a collector connected to a power supply voltage and an emitter connected to an output terminal, for charging the output terminal. The BiCMOS circuit also includes a second bipolar transistor, having a collector connected to the output terminal, for discharging the output terminal, a first MOS transistor of a first conductivity type connected in parallel between the base and the collector of the second bipolar transistor and a second MOS transistor of the first conductivity type connected in series with the first MOS transistor and having a gate connected to an output point of the CMOS circuit. The Bi-CMOS circuit further includes a third MOS transistor of the first conductivity type connected between the input terminal and the gate of the first MOS transistor of the first conductivity type and having a gate receiving a first reference voltage, and a fourth MOS transistor of a second conductivity type connected between the first reference voltage and the gate of the first MOS transistor. A large variation width of an output voltage can be ensured, and hence the Bi-CMOS circuit normally operates even at a low voltage without any deterioration in terms of delay time.

    摘要: A memory cell array includes static memory cells arranged in an array of n rows.times.m columns. Each of the memory cells includes MOS transistors formed in a semicondutor substrate and in a corresponding one of well regions of the conductivity type opposite to that of the semiconductor substrate. The well regions are independently formed for each row or for every two or more rows of the memory cell array. The well regions are connected to the respective sources of MOS transistors formed in the well regions. The source and backgate of each of the MOS transistors formed in the well regions are connected to the common source wirings for each of the independently formed well regions. Isolation circuits are respectively connected between the common source wirings for the repective well regions and the power source. A row of the memory cell array to which a defective memory cell is connected is isolated from the power source by means of the isolation circuits.

    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.

A region flowing a leakage current no smaller than a predetermined value is determined by detecting one of a first large region and a remaining second large region, either of said first and second large regions being selected by simultaneously selecting a predetermined number of said column selection lines. Then, a region flowing a leakage current no smaller than a predetermined value is determined by detecting one of a first small region and a remaining second small region, said first and second small regions constituting said one of the first and second large regions, either of said first and second small regions being selected by simultaneously selecting a predetermined number of said column selection lines. For this purpose, an address signal output control circuit is provided within the semiconductor memory device. The address signal output control circuit is supplied with an address output control signal as externally given as a control signal for the purpose of selecting said row selection line by taking control of said row addressing signal in order to perform the control process as described above.
