摘要: A semiconductor chip includes a first cell row constituted by I/O cells arranged in the X direction and a second cell row constituted by I/O cells arranged in the first direction, spaced from the first cell row by a predetermined distance in the Y direction. A plurality of external connecting pads include pads each connected with any of the I/O cells and a reinforcing power supply pad that is not connected with any of the I/O cells and is connected with a pad for power supply. The reinforcing power supply pad is placed to lie in a region between the first cell row and the second cell row.

摘要: A comparator including: first and second input transistors connected to control signals at first and second nodes of the comparator; latch circuitry; at least one controllable offset-correction component having an input terminal and connected to control the signal at one of the first and second nodes based on an offset-correction signal provided at its input terminal; for each controllable offset-correction component, an offset correction circuit configured to provide the offset-correction signal provided at its input terminal; and control circuitry. The control circuitry controls the at least one offset-correction circuit to: control an amount by which the offset-correction signal is adjusted; and/or in a bypass operation, connect the input terminal of the at least one controllable offset-correction component to a bypass-operation reference voltage supply; and/or in a maintenance operation, control the charging-operation voltage supply and/or the bypass-operation voltage supply to control leakage of the charge stored on the holding capacitor.

摘要: A layout structure of a capacitive cell using forksheet FETs is provided. In transistors P3 and N3, VDD is supplied to a pair of pads and a gate interconnect, and VSS is supplied to a pair of pads and a gate interconnect. Capacitances are produced between nanosheets and the gate interconnect and between nanosheets and the gate interconnect. The faces of the nanosheets closer to the nanosheets are exposed from the gate interconnect, and the faces of the nanosheets closer to the nanosheets are exposed from the gate interconnect.

摘要: In a semiconductor integrated circuit device, first and second IO cell rows are placed in an IO region on a chip. IO cells in the first IO cell row are larger in plane area than IO cells in the second IO cell row. Pads connected to the IO cells in the first IO cell row are located closer to an outer edge of the chip than any pads connected to the IO cells in the second IO cell row.
