Abstract

A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes power supply lines extending in a first direction; first transistors, each of which is formed in a first region and has a first threshold voltage; and second transistors, each of which is formed in a second region and has a second threshold voltage higher than the first threshold voltage. One of the plurality of power supply lines is interposed between the first region and the second region, the first transistors implement a first portion of a multiplexer, a clock buffer and a first latch that are disposed on a data path, the second transistors implement a second portion of the multiplexer circuit and a second latch that are disposed on a feedback path, and the first portion of the multiplexer circuit and the second portion of the multiplexer circuit are disposed in a common location along the first direction.
