Abstract

In a semiconductor integrated circuit, a digital circuit section and an analog circuit section are formed on a substrate. A pair of first power source lines connects a circuit element in the digital circuit section to a power source, while a pair of second power source lines connects a substrate region in the digital circuit section to the power source. The pair of second power source lines is formed separately from the pair of first power source lines in the digital circuit section. The substrate region in the digital circuit section is surrounded by a guard ring well, to which one of the pair of second power source lines is connected.
