    摘要: Provided is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit using a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), which is applied to a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC). A semiconductor substrate has a triple well structure such that a bias is applied to a p-well corresponding to a substrate of a ggNMOS device. Thus, a trigger voltage of the SCR is reduced. In addition, two discharge paths are formed using two SCRs including PNP and NPN bipolar transistors. As a result, the ESD protection circuit can have greater discharge capacity.

    摘要: Provided is a low-power clock gating circuit using a Multi-Threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) technique. The low-power clock gating circuit includes a latch circuit of an input stage and an AND gate circuit of an output stage, in which power consumption caused by leakage current in the clock gating circuit is reduced in a sleep mode, and supply of a clock to a unused device of a targeted logic circuit is prevented by the control of a clock enable signal in an active mode, thereby reducing power consumption. The low-power clock gating circuit using an MTCMOS technique uses devices having a low threshold voltage and devices having a high threshold voltage, which makes it possible to implement a high-speed, low-power circuit, unlike a conventional clock gating circuit using a single threshold voltage.

    摘要: Provided is a multi-threshold complementary metal oxide semiconductor (MTCMOS) latch circuit including: a data inverting circuit for inverting and outputting input data under the control of a sleep control signal; a transmission gate for transferring the data signal output from the data inverting circuit under the control of a clock control signal; a signal control circuit for outputting the data signal output from the transmission gate under the control of a reset control signal and the sleep control signal; and a feedback circuit for feeding back the signal output from the signal control circuit and preserving the data in a sleep mode. The MTCMOS latch circuit can minimize power consumption caused by a leakage current due to elements scaled down to nano scale and also contribute to high-speed operation of a logic circuit by using an element having a low threshold voltage.
