Objects of the invention are to minimize power consumption while maintaining the required information processing capabilities of an LSI chip by supplying multiple voltages to the LSI chip such that its circuit blocks receive necessary voltages and to prevent an increase in the chip area of the LSI chip and performance degradation of signal wires, which may result from the supply of the multiple voltages, by reducing the number of power supply wires.In an LSI chip to which two voltages are supplied, high voltage wires are more densely spaced than low voltage wires. By selectively applying voltages based on circuit block performance, it is possible to reduce power consumption while maintaining the amount of information processed by the LSI chip.

Clock skew can be reduced by suppressing fluctuation in wiring leads between the final stage clock buffers and the clock distribution circuit for supplying the clock. In view of attaining such reduction of clock skew, an upstream of the clock distribution circuit is formed in an H tree structure and the final stage is formed in a local fishbone structure. A plurality of main clock lines connected to the final stage buffer include a first main clock line and a second main clock line. The number of cell arrangement allowable rows where a plurality of first flip-flops for receiving the clock from the first main clock line are located is different from the number of cell arrangement allowable rows where a plurality first flip-flops for receiving the clock from the second main clock line are located.

Read signals to be outputted in the unit of bits from a packaged RAM are received to produce complementary output signals, and these output signals and the non-inverted and inverted signals of expected values are individually inputted to two logic circuits, so that the outputs of the logic circuits are compared by a coincidence/incoincidence circuit to produce a decision output.

A disclosed optical element includes: a transparent substrate; a subwavelength structure layer disposed on the transparent substrate, the subwavelength structure layer having a refractive index different from a refractive index of the transparent substrate; a minute concave and convex structure of one-dimensional grating formed on the subwavelength structure layer with a subwavelength period smaller than a wavelength to be used, where a concave portion reaches a boundary surface between the transparent substrate and the subwavelength structure layer; and an open hole portion formed on a subwavelength structure layer side of the transparent substrate so as to communicate with the concave portion of the minute structure and to be arranged with the same period as in the minute structure of one-dimensional grating. At least at the open hole portion, a refractive index relative to an incident light is changed in a direction orthogonal to the boundary surface.

A method and arrangement of locating cordless units in a wide area cordless telephone system is disclosed. A service area is previously divided into a plurality of small service zones and, a plurality of cordless units are provided for establishing communications with a system controller via a plurality of access stations. The system controller locates the cordless units and stores therein location data thereof. Each of the cordless units also stores the location data thereof applied from the system controller. A cordless unit issues a request signal which includes cordless unit location data. The request signal is received at an access station which in turn checks to determine if the request signal applied thereto is issued from a cordless unit whose location data indicates a service zone belonging to a predetermined service zone group. In the event that the cordless unit location data applied to the access station is found to fall within the predetermined service zone group, the access station relays the request signal applied thereto, together with a signal level of the request signal, to the system controller.
