    摘要: An integrated circuit device includes a first circuit block that includes low-voltage transistors (LVTr) and operates using a first high-potential power supply voltage and a first low-potential power supply voltage, a second circuit block that includes low-voltage transistors (LVTr) and operates using a second high-potential power supply voltage and a second low-potential power supply voltage that differ in power supply system from the first circuit block, and an interface circuit (I/O buffer) provided between the first circuit block and the second circuit block. The interface circuit (I/O buffer) includes medium-voltage transistors (MVTr: transistors of which the thickness of the gate insulating film is larger than that of the low-voltage transistors (LVTr)). An electrostatic discharge protection circuit formed of bidirectional diodes is provided between a first and second low-potential power supply nodes.
