A semiconductor integrated circuit includes low voltage operation circuitries such as I.sup.2 L and high voltage operation circuitries operating at a higher voltage than the low voltage operation circuitries. Both of the low and high voltage operation circuitries are implemented in a single semiconductor chip in coexistence with each other. The low voltage operation circuitries are disposed in constant current paths in the high voltage operation circuitries so that the currents once used by the high voltage operation circuits are utilized again by the low voltage operation circuitries. Power dissipation of the whole integrated circuit is thus reduced significantly.

I.sup.2 L circuitry having operating current supplied by higher-voltage

In a color signal reproducing circuit, a red color difference signal from a color demodulator circuit is corrected by a blue color difference signal, and the blue color difference signal is corrected by a luminance signal. The phase of a color subcarrier signal to be supplied to the color demodulator circuit is controlled by the corrected red color difference signal during reception of a VIR signal, and the level of a color signal to be supplied to the color demodulator circuit is controlled by the corrected blue color difference signal. The controls of hue and color saturation are facilitated by the use of the corrected color difference signals. It is also made possible to deliver from the color demodulator circuit, color difference signals which match the fluorescence characteristics of a color picture tube.

A transistor circuit comprises a cancellation circuit which receives, as an input signal, an output signal of a signal circuit having at least a connection wiring and which supplies to the connection wiring a cancellation current opposite in phase and substantially equal in magnitude to a signal current supplied to the connection wiring by the signal circuit, whereby a signal voltage due to the signal current and the distributed resistance of the connection wiring is prevented from being produced.

Transistor circuit

In a synchronizing detector circuit which has at least two differential transistors, a pair of constant current transistors are connected to the differential transistors, and an output transistor is connected to the junctures between the differential and constant current transistors and to a filter circuit for detection. A synchronizing detector circuit comprises a compensating circuit incorporated between the junctures and the filter circuit and includes a constant current absorbing circuit, so as to prevent an offset output voltage of the filter circuit due to noise.
