Abstract
There are provided a semiconductor integrated device capable of achieving stable high-speed data transfer through a differential pair of signal lines and electronic equipment including the semiconductor integrated device. In a signal-transmission period in which current is driven through one of first and second signal lines forming a differential pair, current from a constant current source is caused to flow through a current path to one of a DP pad and DM pad. Current is caused to flow into a DA pad in a period other than the signal-transmission period. A layout arrangement of the current paths from a node ND to which current from the constant current source is supplied to the DP pad and the DM pad is symmetrical. The DA pad is disposed between the DP pad and the DM pad.
