Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising:a destination for receiving a data signal representative of data;a data source for producing said data;a data bus connected between said data source and said destination, and including a first data line and a second data line paired with said first data line for propagating said data signal in the form of a potential difference from said data source to said destination;an initial voltage applying means connected between a source of a first voltage and said first and second data lines; anda second clamp circuit connected between a source of a second voltage higher in potential level than said first voltage, said first and second data lines and a source of a third voltage lower in potential level than said first voltage, and clamping one of said first and second data lines to a certain potential level between said first voltage and said second voltage for generating said data signal on said first and second data lines.
