Abstract:
A semiconductor circuit, comprising:a first power source means; a second power source means; a plurality of first-conductivity transistors; a plurality of second-conductivity transistors, said plurality of first-conductivity transistors and said plurality of second-conductivity transistors forming a first output section; and a first output node for providing a first output, wherein at least one of said first-conductivity transistors and at least one of said second-conductivity transistors form a first group of transistors with their source-drain circuits connected in series between said first power source means and said first output node and at least another one of said first-conductivity transistors and at least another one of said second-conductivity transistors form a second group oftransistors with their source-drain circuits connected in series between said first output node and said second power source means, wherein the first output serves as the substrate or well potential of the transistors other than the transistors that are directly connected to the first and second power source means, respectively, wherein said semiconductor circuit further comprises at least one additional second-conductivity transistor and at least one additional first-conductivity transistor, these additional transistors being connected with their source-drain circuits in series between said first power source means and said second power source means and forming a second output section that provides a second output, which is different from said first output, wherein said first output serves as a substrate or well potential of said transistors of said second output section to provide said second output.
