Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 15:
16. A semiconductor integrated circuit control method comprising:
outputting a signal having an amplitude lower than a first voltage by a threshold voltage of a level shift transistor, to a transmission line from a first circuit that is connected between a first power supply line to which the first voltage is supplied and a second power supply line to which a second voltage lower than the first voltage is supplied and includes the level shift transistor;
inputting, to a second circuit connected the transmission line, the signal propagating through the transmission line; and
allowing a current to flow from the transmission line by means of a third circuit that is connected between the transmission line and a third power supply line to which a third voltage higher than the second voltage is supplied, when a voltage of the transmission line exceeds a set voltage.
