Abstract
A plurality of flip-flop circuits, having different circuit configurations, which perform an identical digital signal processing are mixed on a single semiconductor substrate. A first flip-flop circuit among the plurality of flip-flop circuits receives a clock signal supplied from outside the flip-flop circuits, through at least two stage inverters, and operates with clock signals outputted from the inverters. A second flip-flop circuit receives the clock signal supplied from outside the flip-flop circuits through at least one inverter having a less number of stages than the number of stages of the inverter contained in the first flip-flop circuit, and operates with at least one of the clock signal and a clock signal outputted from the inverter.
