Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a front stage circuit and a rear stage circuit. The rear stage circuit includes first, second, fifth, and sixth transistors and a plurality of seventh transistors. The front stage circuit includes first and second inverters and third and fourth transistors. The third transistor is between the first inverter and the rear stage circuit, and has a gate connected to a first power supply node. The fourth transistor is between the second inverter and the rear stage circuit, and has a gate connected to the first power supply node. A breakdown voltage of each of the third and fourth transistors in the front stage circuit is lower than that of the first, second, fifth, sixth, and seventh transistors in the rear stage circuit.
