    摘要: A logic circuit design equipment and a logic circuit design method include analyzing input states of all of first cells, respectively, analyzing leakage currents of all of first cells in a case where each first cell is high Vth cell showing a small leakage current at a low speed operation and low Vth cell showing a large leakage current at a high speed operation, respectively, and substituting the first cells for second cells within a range satisfying a timing restriction. Herein, a threshold of the second cell is different from a threshold of the first cell.

    摘要: There is provided a semiconductor integrated circuit, a logic operation circuit and a flip flop capable of operating at a high speed and having a leak electric current reduced. In a semiconductor integrated circuit according to the present invention, only a gate circuit on a critical path is constituted by an MT gate cell obtained by combining transistors having a low threshold voltage with transistors having a high threshold voltage, and any other gate circuit is constituted by a transistor having a high threshold voltage. Consequently, the gate circuit on the critical path can be operated at a high speed, and the overall leak electric current can be suppressed, thereby reducing the consumption power.

    摘要: There is disclosed a multi-power supply integrated circuit including a first pMOS transistor which is formed in a first n-well and operated at a first supply voltage and a second pMOS transistor which is formed in a second n-well and operated at a second supply voltage being lower than the first supply voltage, wherein the first n-well and the second n-well are placed adjacently to put a boundary line therebetween and also the first supply voltage is supplied to both the first and second n-wells. Because a space between the first and second n-wells is made small, a gate array LSI with a reduced chip area is provided. A common n-well may be formed in place of the first and second n-wells.
