Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit includes inverters and a PMOS transistor which are disposed for a first signal, and inverters and a PMOS transistor which are disposed for a second signal substantially complementary to the first signal. By the transistors, potentials of signal lines are driven. A transistor for 1.8 V is used for each of the transistors and the inverters at the rear stage. A transistor for 3.3 V is used for each of the inverters at the front stage. With the configuration, the complementary signals are transmitted at optimum timings.
