Abstract

The semiconductor integrated circuit of this invention includes a first transistor for setting a first node at a first logic level in accordance with a clock signal; an input circuit for setting the first node at a second logic level in accordance with an input signal; a second transistor for setting a second node at the first logic level when the first node is at the first logic level; a resistor device connected between the first node and the second node; a first driving transistor for receiving, as an input, potential of the second node and controlling whether or not an output node is set at the first logic level; and a second driving transistor for receiving, as an input, a signal at a logic level identical to the logic level of the first node and controlling whether or not the output node is set at the second logic level.
