Abstract
In a semiconductor integrated circuit employing power gating, a control input signal is propagated to one or more first power switches through a first propagation path and to one or more second power switches through a second propagation path. A restoration determination circuit receives a first signal of the first propagation path and a second signal of the second propagation path and generates a control output signal. When the control signal performs restoration transition, the restoration determination circuit causes the control output signal to perform the restoration transition in accordance with a later timing of timings of restoration transitions of the first and second signals.
