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.

A combination circuit is switched between an active state where power is supplied thereto in response to a control signal and an inactive state where power thereto is interrupted. A flip-flop circuit connected to an input terminal of the combination circuit stores an output signal of the combination circuit in response to a clock signal. The combination circuit is set to an operative state by the control signal immediately before the flip-flop circuit operates in response to the clock signal.

An automatic circuit generation methods and apparatus (1) provide a desired circuit performance by reducing a leakage current during both a standby state and an active state, where cells having only High-Vth and Mt cells having both High-Vth transistors and Low-Vth translators are optimally mixed in a logical circuit. It is thereby possible to suppress efficiently the leakage current, in a design stage, generated according to miniaturization of LSI layout design and also lowering a supply voltage to the LSI.

A semiconductor memory has paired first and second bit lines one of which passes a current representing data stored in a selected memory cell. If the first bit line transfers the current representing the data stored in the memory cell, the second bit line transfers a current representing data stored in a dummy cell. If the second bit line transfers the current representing the data stored in the memory cell, the first bit line transfers the current representing the data stored in the dummy cell. The current transferred through the first bit line is divided into partial currents, and the current transferred through the second bit line is also divided into partial currents. It is determined whether or not the current representing the data stored in the memory cell is passed through the first bit line. If it is determined that the first bit line passes the current representing the data stored in the memory cell, the partial currents from the first bit line are recombined to provide an output and one of the partial currents from the second bit line is selected to provide another output. If it is determined that the first bit line does not pass the current representing the data stored in the memory cell, i.e., the first bit line passes the current representing the data stored in the dummy cell, the partial currents from the second bit line are recombined to provide an output and one of the partial currents from the first bit line is selected to provide another output.
