A semiconductor integrated circuit is provided for performing an arithmetic operation using an arithmetic operation circuit. The integrated circuit includes a read bus for connecting the arithmetic operation circuit with a plurality of registers which store input data and/or output data of said arithmetic operation circuit. A precharge and sense circuit connects said arithmetic operation circuit to said read bus. The precharge and sense circuit includes a precharge circuit to precharge the read bus to a first level before the read operation, and a sense circuit to detect that the level of the read bus has discharged to a second, lower level after the read operation begins. In this way, the integrated circuit can detect very slight potential variations on said read bus.

A semiconductor memory is provided including a plurality of row lines, memory cells driven by selecting a row line, sense amplifiers connected to the memory cells via column lines, and a column line voltage setting circuit for setting a predetermined voltage on the column lines. The predetermined voltage is defined by a voltage necessary to activate semiconductor switch elements constituting the column line voltage setting circuit, and is made nearly equal to the threshold voltage of the sense amplifiers. Thus, a high-speed, low power consumption semiconductor memory can be realized.

When a counter-part power supply designator of a first LSI designates that the counter-part power supply voltage of another LSI is a first power supply difference which is the same as the power supply difference of its own, an output circuit control controls an output circuit and the output circuit produces an output signal having a level adaptive to the counter-part LSI operating at the first power supply voltage. When the counter-part power supply voltage designator designates that the counter-part power supply voltage difference, lower than the first power supply voltage difference, the output circuit control controls the output circuit and the output circuit produces an output signal having a level adaptive to the counter-part LSI operating at the second power supply voltage difference. Thus, a plurality of LSIs can be operated at mutually different power supply voltages.

An input/output control device stores variable-length data in a memory device at a high storage efficiency and without reducing the speed of data processing. The data stored in a memory are read out in the form of data of a fixed word length and then processed, the data having been processed are stored in another memory in the form of data of the fixed word length. The data stored in another memory are subjected to data organization to be outputted in the form of data of a given word length. Each of the memories is divided into a plurality of regions, and each region stores therein data of the same word length, respectively.
