Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit can precisely identify the level of an external input signal by stably supplying an internally stepped down voltage. It comprises a first N-channel MOS transistor having its drain/source connected between an external voltage supply node supplied with an external voltage and a first step-down output node for outputting a first stepped down voltage and its gate supplied with a control voltage higher than the external voltage, a first circuit supplied with the first stepped down voltage as operating voltage from the first step-down output node, a second N-channel MOS transistor having its drain/source connected between the external voltage supply node and a second step-down output node for outputting a second stepped down voltage and its gate supplied with the control voltage higher than the external voltage and having a drive capacity different from that of the first N-channel MOS transistor, the second step-down output node being separated from the first step-down output node and a second circuit supplied with the second stepped down voltage as operating voltage from the second step-down output node.
