    摘要: A memory using an SRAM memory cell intended for low-voltage operation is designed to decrease the threshold value of MOS transistors constituting the memory cell without substantial decrease in the static noise margin, which is the operational margin of the memory cell. To this end, a voltage Vdd′ higher than a power supply voltage Vdd of a power supply line for peripheral circuits is supplied from a power supply line for memory cells as a power supply voltage for memory cells. Since the conductance of driver MOS transistors is in-creased, the threshold voltage of the MOS transistors within the memory cells can be reduced without reducing the static noise margin. Further the ratio of width between the driver MOS transistor and a transfer MOS transistor can be set to 1, thereby allowing a reduction in the memory cell area.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to realize high manufacture yield and compensate variations in threshold voltage of a MOS transistor with small overhead. A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a CMOS circuit for processing an input signal in an active mode, a control switch, and a control memory. The control switch supplies a pMOS body bias voltage and an nMOS body bias voltage to an N well in a pMOS transistor and a P well in an nMOS transistor, respectively, in the CMOS circuit. The control memory stores control information indicating whether or not the pMOS body bias voltage and the nMOS body bias voltage are supplied from the control switch to the N well in the pMOS transistor and the P well in the nMOS transistor, respectively, in the CMOS circuit in the active mode.
