Abstract

A decoder part is formed by a main decoder part C and a plurality of subdecoder parts D.sub.0 to D.sub.3 connected with the main decoder part C, and a plurality of such decoder parts are provided. In such structure, the main decoder part specifies one of a plurality of decoder parts and a CMOS circuit (PMOS transistor T.sub.0 and NMOS transistors T.sub.0 ', . . . , PMOS transistor and NMOS transistor T.sub.3 ') specifies one of the subdecoder parts and PMOS transistors (T.sub.00 to T.sub.03, . . . , T.sub.30 to T.sub.33) select finally decoded output.
