Abstract
A semiconductor integrated apparatus includes a control circuit unit which is connected to a low potential power supply terminal and a ground potential power supply terminal, and to which a predetermined low potential power supply output is supplied via the low potential power supply terminal, an output circuit unit which is connected to a high potential power supply terminal and the ground potential power supply terminal, and to which an output from the control circuit unit is supplied, and a detection circuit unit which is connected to the low potential power supply terminal, and which detects a decline in the predetermined low potential power supply output. The apparatus further includes a level shifter circuit which is provided between the control circuit unit and the output circuit unit, and which controls an output level of the output circuit unit in accordance with a detected output from the detection circuit unit.
