Abstract
A stable high-speed integrated circuit driven by a wide range of low voltages and consuming low power. A MOSFET is used wherein signals are applied to its gate and body for forming a circuit block which comprises a transistor network and at least one buffer circuit. Each buffer circuit has at least two configurations. A plurality of circuit blocks are formed on the same IC chip. Any of the configurations of the buffer circuit may be selected according to the magnitude of the capacitance of the load driven by the circuit block.
