摘要: A semiconductor circuit which can restrain increase in manufacturing cost and layout area to a minimum level and can realize high speed and low power consumption. Bias voltages with different levels are generated corresponding to a mode control signal by a bias voltage supply circuit comprising PMOS transistors P2 and P3 which have different voltages applied to the respective sources and the mode control signal input to the gates. The generated bias voltages are supplied to the n-wells of PMOS transistors. During operation, a bias voltage that is almost the same as the operation voltage is applied to the n-wells of PMOS transistors. During standby, a bias voltage higher than the operation voltage is supplied to the aforementioned n-wells of PMOS transistors. In this way, the driving currents of the transistors can be kept at a high level during operation, while leakage currents of the transistors can be restrained during standby. Consequently, high speed and low power consumption can be realized.

摘要: The objective of this invention is to provide a type of semiconductor integrated circuit which can lessen solution in the circuit area to the minimum necessary level, and can lessen the leakage current in the standby state so as to cut the power consumption, and which allows Iddq test to determine whether it is passed or defective. Logic circuit 10 composed of low threshold voltage transistors and switching circuit 20 composed of transistors having the standard threshold voltage are set. In the operation, the switching circuit is turned ON, and a driving current is fed to logic circuit 10. On the other hand, in the standby mode, the switching circuit is turned OFF, and the path of the leakage current is cut off to lessen generation of the leakage current. In the case of Iddq test, different bulk bias voltages are applied to the channel regions of PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors from an IC tester through pads P1 and P2. In this way, the leakage current can be lessened on a low level, and whether the semiconductor integrated circuit is passed or defective can be judged from the results of the current measurement.

摘要: The objective of this invention is to provide a type of addition circuit that can perform addition at a high speed without increasing power consumption, as well as a type of multiplication circuit and a type of multiplication/addition circuit having said addition circuit as the last step. It has a characteristic feature that the delay in a signal input from a Wallace tree to the addition circuit in the last step is maximum in the intermediate bit range, and it is smaller in the lower and upper bit ranges. In the lower bit range, addition is performed by means of 1-level carry increment adder 1 with a larger delay in carry propagation to the upper place. In the intermediate bit range, addition is performed by means of 2-level carry increment adder 1 having a carry propagation speed higher than that in said lower bit range. In the upper bit range, addition is performed by means of high-speed carry select adder 3. In this way, because addition is performed using addition schemes matched to the trend of delay in the signal input timing in the various bit ranges, it is possible to perform computing at high speed while the circuit scale and power consumption are reduced.
