Abstract
An integrated circuit disclosed here includes several cell rows extending in a first direction and a multi-bit cell having several bit cells included in the cell rows. The bit cells include M bit cells, and an output signal of a N-th bit cell of the M bit cells is an input signal of a (N+1)-th bit cell of the M bit cells, N and M being positive integers. A first bit cell of the bit cells and a M-th bit cell of the bit cells are arranged diagonally in different cell rows in the multi-bit cell, and the N-th bit cell and the (N+1)-th bit cell are arranged diagonally in different cell rows in the multi-bit cell.
