The present invention is intended to provide a conventional circuit apparatus which is highly tolerant to noises and operates at a higher speed than a completely complementary static CMOS circuit. To achieve this, circuit apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a plurality of CMOS static logic circuits which are series-connected and potential setting means which is connected to the output parts of these logic circuits and sets the outputs of the output parts to a low level in synchronization with a clock signal, thus propagating signals by operation of the NMOS circuit. In other words, a signal propagation delay occurs only when the N-type logic block conducts. Therefore circuit operation is speeded up and .alpha. particle noise and noises due to charge redistribution effect or leakage current can be prevented.

A circuit for protecting a load from an overvoltage can be integrated together with the load on the same chip by an MOS transistor manufacture process. This overvoltage protecting circuit is composed of a surge protection circuit, an overvoltage detecting circuit and a switching circuit. The surge protection circuit including two MOS transistors operates so that a surge voltage applied to a power supply receiving terminal is clamped by virtue of the source-drain breakdown voltage of the two MOS transistors, thereby absorbing the surge energy. The overvoltage detecting circuit including two MOS transistors operates so that a DC voltage supplied from the surge protection circuit is monitored with the source-drain voltage of the two MOS transistors taken as a reference voltage, thereby detecting an overvoltage. An overvoltage detection output brings an MOS transistor of the switching circuit into a turned-off condition to protect the load.

A floating-point arithmetic processing apparatus has a circuit for generating a limit value for normalization shift by subtracting an exponent of the minimum value of a normalized number from a value of an exponent of an intermediate result, and a circuit for generating, as a normalization shift number, smaller one of a shift number necessary for making the mantissa of the intermediate result a normalized number and the limit value for normalization shift. The floating-point arithmetic processing apparatus further has a circuit having a circuit for detecting a condition for overflow before the rounding process and a circuit for generating a value in the case of overflow, so that a predetermined value is delivered as a final result only when the overflow condition is detected before the rounding process but in the other case, a result obtained by performing the normalization process and the rounding process is delivered. When no overflow takes place before the rounding process but overflow occurs after the rounding process, the result obtained by performing the normalization process and the rounding process is delivered as a final result.
