Zusammenfassung: | REF DD P1 P1 P1 P1 P1 P1 DC voltage Vproduced in an LSI and having a value between power supply voltage Vand the ground potential is applied to the gate electrode of pMOS transistor Qwhich forms a function determination circuit. Since the gate voltage of a transistor Qis lower than that in a conventional function determination circuit, current through the transistor Qis reduced. Hence, the gate length of the transistor Qcan be reduced. When a second pMOS transistor is connected in parallel to the transistor Qso that the transistor has a function for supplying charge to junction A when power is fed to the LSI, the area of the transistor Qcan be further reduced. When a voltage produced for a purpose other than for the function determination circuit such as a step-down power supply of the LSI is used as DC voltage, the area of the transistor can be reduced. |
