Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit comprises a pair of complementary groups of MOS transistors disposed between first and second reference potentials and switched on and off through a pair of complementary groups of input signals inputted to gates thereof, a first switching transistor switched on and off by a clock signal, and a pair of cross-connected second switching transistors disposed between the reference potentials and connected with the pair of groups of MOS transistors. With this construction, unlike prior art techniques, the semiconductor integrated circuit of the present invention operates with greater speed and reduced power consumption, without increasing the channel width of the constituent transistor, and without the need for an inverted clock signal.
