Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a memory for holding data of a logic circuit inputs or outputs. The memory is composed of logic cells, and is placed in a logic region. Thus, the semiconductor integrated circuit can prevent forming wasted space, in which no circuit component is built, and reduce its area and power consumption. It can reduce the design period of the memory as compared with the case where hard macro cells are used.
