Claim 15:
16. A method of controlling a semiconductor integrated circuit, the method comprising:
inputting a first signal to a first part of a first signal line including the first part and a second part in response to a first clock signal in a first period;
inputting a second signal to a third part of a second signal line including the third part and a fourth part in response to a second clock signal in a second period after the first period;
causing a first inverter arranged between the first part and the second part of the first signal line to output, to the second part, a first inverted signal obtained such that a logic of the first signal is inverted;
causing a second inverter arranged between the third part and the fourth part of the second signal line to output, to the fourth part, a second inverted signal obtained such that a logic of the second signal is inverted;
bringing the second signal line into a floating state in the first period, and bringing the first signal line into a floating state in the second period;
causing the first clock signal to transit between a first level and a second level different from the first level;
causing the second clock signal to transit between a third level and a fourth level different from the third level;
bringing the first clock signal into the first level and bringing the second clock signal into the fourth level in a third period as apart of the first period;
bringing the first clock signal into the second level d bringing the second clock signal into the fourth level in a fourth period as another part of the first period;
bringing the first clock signal into the second level and bringing the second clock signal into the third level in a fifth period as a part of the second period; and
bringing the first clock signal into the second level and bringing the second clock signal into the fourth level in a sixth period as another part of the second period.
