Abstract
A splitter circuit in a semiconductor device includes a first inverter that receives an input signal and outputs an inverted signal, a second inverter that receives the inverted signal and outputs a non-inverted signal (a first output signal), a third inverter that receives the input signal and outputs an inverted signal (a second output signal) and an auxiliary inverter that shares an output signal line with the third inverter. The third inverter and the auxiliary inverter use an inverted signal of the input signal as power supplies.
