Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a first internal voltage controlling circuit which lowers an external power source voltage and produces a predetermined internal power source voltage. The device further has a second internal voltage controlling circuit formed by an internal-voltage drop detection circuit for detecting the lowering of the internal power source voltage from a predetermined reference voltage and a switching circuit for causing the external power source voltage to be directly connected to an internal voltage output terminal based on an output from the internal-voltage drop detection circuit. The internal power source voltage is maintained close to the required value thereby preventing a deterioration of circuit performance even when the external power source voltage drops close to the internal power source voltage.

Abstract: A node potential V1 which is obtained by the division of an internal reference potential and a substrate potential and another node potential V2 which is obtained by the division of the internal reference potential and the ground potential are compared with each other by a current-mirror amplifier. The initial setting of the above two node potentials (V1 and V2) is made as V1>V2. When the substrate potential becomes large in its absolute value, the node potential V1 falls following such change and, when it reaches a predetermined substrate potential, the potentials result in V1<V2. Then, a true output node of the current-mirror amplifier outputs an output of a largely inverted output level which is further amplified by at least one inverter. The semiconductor integrated circuit device is capable of detecting the predetermined substrate potential even if there exist variations in the threshold values in MOS transistors concerned in the fabricating process.
