Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising:a first node to which a first voltage is applied; a plurality of first transistors of a first channel each having a current path which has a first end and a second end and a gate, the first end of the current path being connected to the first node; a plurality of second nodes to which the second end of the current paths of the plurality of the first transistors is connected, respectively; a plurality of second transistors of a second channel each having a current path which has a first end and a second end and a gate, the first end of the current path is connected to one of the second nodes, respectively; a third node to which the second ends of the current paths of the plurality of second transistors are connected in common; a fourth node to which a second voltage lower than the first voltage is applied; a third transistor of the second channel having a current path and a gate, the current path is connected between the third node and the fourth node, and a third voltage higher than the second voltage is applied to the gate; and wherein the first, second, and third voltages are constant voltages.
