Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit and its operating method are provided. The present circuit has first and second supply terminals capable of supplying first and second power supply voltages respectively, an input voltage selection circuit coupled to the first and second supply terminals, and first and second power supply switches. The input voltage selection circuit includes a power-on reset circuit, an input voltage detection circuit and a control circuit. When the supply of the first or second power supply voltage to one of both supply terminals is detected upon completion of a power on reset operation, one of both power supply switches and the other thereof are controlled to on and off respectively. When the supply of both power supply voltages to both supply terminals is detected, the one thereof and the other thereof are respectively controlled to on and off according to the preset order of precedence.
