Abstract
An input circuit has an input buffer and a detection circuit. The input buffer receives an external signal and outputs an internal signal. The detection circuit detects whether or not the external signal is provided. The input buffer outputs the internal signal when an output of the detection circuit indicates that the external signal is provided. This arrangement shortens the lock-on time of an internal circuit (synchronous circuit).
