In an embodiment, a semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a driver circuit that drives a transmission line, an output terminal coupled to the output of the driver circuit, and a variable-impedance circuit. The variable-impedance circuit is coupled, for example, between the driver circuit and the output terminals for series-termination of the transmission line.

A chopper comparator has inverters in input and output stages including NMOS transistors to control connection and disconnection of an inverter circuit of each inverter. During a non-operation period of the chopper comparator, parts of the inverters are disconnected form the ground based on a signal supplied to gates of the NMOS transistors.

In a semiconductor integrated circuit having a gate array structure, within a cell, isolation transistors are disposed in series between an intra-cell gate output terminal and an intra-cell power supply wiring section, or between the intra-cell gate output terminal and an intra-cell ground wiring section. Isolation transistors are disposed in series between an extra-cell gate output terminal and an extra-cell power supply wiring section between cells, or between the extra-cell gate output terminal and an extra-cell ground wiring section.
