Abstract
A driver circuit for a signal line of a large load is configured to include: a pMOS transistor having a source and a drain connected with a signal line and a ground line, respectively, and a gate receiving an input signal; and an nMOS transistor having a source and a drain connected with a signal line and a power supply line, respectively, and a gate receiving the input signal. As a result, the power consumption due to the signal line of a large load is reduced to realize a reduction of the power consumption of a semiconductor integrated circuit.
