A semiconductor circuit with the reduced scale of circuitry and a semiconductor integrated circuit chip which is obtained by integrating the semiconductor circuit and enables chip size reduction are provided. For this purpose, a two-decode method is used. The method uses: a pre-decode circuit comprising a first decoder of the preceding stage which decodes an arbitrary bit of an address signal of eight bits and a second decoder of the preceding stage which decodes the remaining bits; level conversion circuits which shift the output of the pre-decode circuit; and post-decode circuits which decode the decode outputs of the decoders in the pre-decode circuit, level-converted through the level conversion circuits.

The present invention provides a semiconductor memory circuit capable of reducing current consumption at non-operation in a system equipped with a plurality of chips that share the use of a power supply, address signals and a data bus. The semiconductor memory circuit has an internal circuit which is capable of selectively performing the supply and stop of an operating voltage via switch means and includes a memory array. An input circuit, which receives a predetermined control signal therein, controls the supply and stop of the operating voltage by the switch means to reduce a DC current and a leak current when no memory operation is done, whereby low power consumption can be realized.

A semiconductor integrated circuit for driving a liquid crystal display, capable of improving the quality of an image displayed by preventing an imbalance between the outputs of a pair of amplifiers for positive voltage and negative voltage for AC driving of the liquid crystal panel and transmission of noise from one amplifier to the other amplifier is realized. A driver circuit that generates and outputs dive signals to be applied to signal lines of the liquid crystal panel includes decoder circuits, each of which selects a gray-scale voltage corresponding to image data. It also includes amplifiers for positive voltage which perform impedance conversion of positive voltages selected by the decoder circuits and amplifiers for negative voltage which perform impedance conversion of negative voltages selected by the decoder circuits. Furthermore, it includes an AC output section consisting of switch circuits, each of which alternately conducts an output of each amplifier for positive voltage to one of two adjacent output terminals and an output of each amplifier for negative voltage to the other one of the two adjacent terminals and vice versa. Two pairs of supply voltages having the same potential difference are generated as supply voltages to the amplifiers for positive voltage and the amplifiers for negative voltage and supplied through separate power supply lines.
