Abstract
A semiconductor device having a plurality of output signals is provided. The semiconductor device includes a plurality of PMOS transistors each having a drain of connected to a predetermined node and a source supplied with a first power voltage. A plurality of first buffers are connected to the gates of the plurality of PMOS transistors. A plurality of NMOS transistors each have a drain connected to the predetermined node, and a source supplied with a first ground voltage. A plurality of second buffers are connected to gates of the plurality of NMOS transistors. The plurality of first buffers are supplied with the first ground voltage, the plurality of second buffers are supplied with the first power voltage, and a signal output from a previous portion of the semiconductor device is input into the first and second buffers at predetermined time intervals. As a result, skewing of the output signals is reduced.
