Abstract

A logic circuit includes a low-threshold logic circuit, a pair of first and second power lines, a first dummy power line, and a first high-frequency logic circuit. The low-threshold logic circuit has a logic circuit element constituted by a plurality of low-threshold field effect transistors. The pair of first and second power lines supply power to the low-threshold logic circuit. The first dummy power line is connected to one of power source terminals of the low-threshold logic circuit. The first high-threshold control transistor is arranged between the first dummy power line and the first power line.
