Abstract
Eight decoder circuits each of which comprising two transfer-gate-circuit transistors and two transistors for fixation of unselected level are connected in series and arranged in three hierarchies. Consequently, the decoder circuit is capable of selecting one output signal wire out of eight output signal wires by three address input signals so as to output an output of a high level to the selected output signal wire.
