Patent ID: 6970019

Claim:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising: an output node; a logic circuit including a first MOS transistor of a first conductivity type; a second MOS transistor of the first conductivity type, a drain of the second MOS transistor being coupled to a source of the first MOS transistor; a level-hold circuit to receive an output signal of the logic circuit; wherein the output node is coupled to an output of the logic circuit and an output of the level-hold circuit; wherein, when the second MOS transistor is ON state, a potential of the output node is decided by the logic circuit and when the second MOS transistor is OFF state, the potential of the output node is decided by the level-hold circuit; a first power line; wherein the source of the second MOS transistor is coupled to the first power line, and wherein a supply voltage is supplied to the level-hold circuit when the second MOS transistor is OFF state through the first power line.
