Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an input/output cell, an IO power supply cell, a core power supply cell, and a core logic circuit arranged on a chip, and the core power supply cell includes an ESD protection circuit. The input/output cell includes a level shifter circuit and the level shifter circuit is arranged in the input/output cell. The core logic circuit is arranged outside the input/output cell. The core power supply cell is not arranged in the same row as the input/output cell, but is arranged in a third region provided between a first region in which the input/output cell and the IO power supply cell are arranged and a second region in which the core logic circuit is arranged.
