Abstract
To minimize the power consumption, the disclosed semiconductor integrated circuit device, comprises; a bias circuit for generating a predetermined voltage fixed between a first supply voltage and a second supply voltage; a driver circuit for receiving an inversion input signal and a non-inversion input signal each vibrating between the first and second supply voltages, for converting the received input signals into a signal vibrating between an output voltage of the bias circuit and the first supply voltage, and for driving a transfer path by the converted signal; a voltage divider circuit for dividing an output voltage of the bias circuit; and a receiver circuit for detecting the signal for driving the transfer path by use of an output of the voltage divider circuit as a reference voltage, and for converting the detected signal into a signal vibrating between the first/supply voltage and the second supply voltage.
