Abstract
An internal power supply circuit of the present invention includes a primary internal power supply potential supplying circuit, two auxiliary internal power supply potential supplying circuits, and a P channel MOS transistor. The internal power supply potential supplying circuit always supplies an internal power supply potential to a first output node based on an external power supply potential. One auxiliary internal power supply potential supplying circuit is activated in response to a control signal, and, when activated, supplies the internal power supply potential to the first output node. The other auxiliary internal power supply potential supplying circuit is activated in response to another control signal, and, when activated, supplies the internal power supply potential to a second output node. The P channel MOS transistor is connected between the first output node and the second output node. The P channel MOS transistor has a gate electrode receiving the control signal.
