  • Publication number: 20050242864
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor device for outputting an output signal with a given phase held relative to an external clock despite a difference in characteristic, a change in temperature, and a fluctuation in supply voltage. The semiconductor device comprises an input circuit for inputting the external clock and outputting a reference signal, an output circuit for receiving an output timing signal and outputting an output signal according to the timing of the output timing signal, and an output timing control circuit for controlling the output timing so that the output signal exhibits a given phase relative to the external clock.

  • Patent number: 6710371
    Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor integrated circuit device wherein functional circuit groups are arranged on a chip in a direction spreads, which aims to enhance layout efficiency and to prevent deterioration of element characteristics. A unit wiring region IL1P is constituted outside of a power voltage wiring VCC, a part of a second region BIP and a unit wiring region IL1N is constituted outside of a reference voltage wiring VSS, a part of a second region BIN. Within the second wiring regions BIP and BIN, connection wirings 11, 12A, 13, 14 are wired. These connection wirings connect between units within the logic circuits CIA11, CIR12 or between the logic circuits CIR11, CIR12. There is only arranged an input/output wiring region IOL1 on a first region A1 located between the power voltage wiring VCC1 and the reference voltage wiring VSS1. Since no unit wiring region exists in the first region A1, width of the first region A1 can be laid-out short.
