った。In the above prior art, the load capacitances 13 to 1 of the bus lines 1 to 4 are generally due to the long wiring length or the addition of circuits to be driven.
6 is big. Therefore, when a signal opposite to the previous output signal that is being held is output when the clock signal changes from L to H, the output potential must change by the power supply potential Vdd. Therefore, it takes a long time to transmit the signal on the bus line. Further, since the load capacity is large, there is a problem that the current consumption increases due to the charging and discharging.

8〜23、25、29は全てオンになる。The operation will be described. When the clock signal is changed from H to L while the signals corresponding to the inputs of the clocked inverters 5 to 8 are output to the bus lines 1 to 4, the clocked inverters 5 to 12 are turned off and the transistor 1
8 to 23, 25 and 29 are all turned on.
【0014】説明を容易にするために負荷容量13〜1

なる。For ease of explanation, load capacities 13 to 1
It is assumed that the values of 6 are equal and the potential supply circuits 24 and 27 are not provided. First, since the transistors 18 to 23 are turned on, the bus lines 1 to 4 are short-circuited to the same potential.
In this case, when all the potential levels of the bus lines 1 to 4 are H, the potential remains the power supply potential Vdd, but the bus line 1
3 out of 4 potential levels are 3 /
4Vdd, 1/2 Vdd when two lines are H, 1 / 4Vdd when one line is H, and ground potential 0 when all lines are L.

7は両方オフであるから1/2Vddのままである。Next, the case where the potential supply circuits 24 and 27 are provided will be described. In the potential supply circuit 24, when the threshold potential of the transistor 26 is Vthp, the potential of the bus line is Vdd.
It is turned on when the voltage is −Vthp or less. Therefore, Vth
p is, for example, 1 / 2Vdd>Vdd-Vthp> 1 / 4V
If set to dd, 1 of bus lines 1 to 4
When the number of books is H and when all of them are L, the potential of the bus line is raised to Vdd-Vthp. Similarly, the potential supply circuit 29 changes the threshold potential of the transistor 28 to Vthn.
Then, the bus line is turned on when the potential of the bus line is Vthn or higher. Therefore, Vthn is set to, for example, 3/4 Vdd> V
If thn> 1 / 2Vdd is set, the potential of the bus lines is lowered to Vthn when three of the bus lines 1 to 4 are H and when all are H. When two of the bus lines 1 to 4 are H, the potential supply circuits 24 and 2
Since 7 is both off, it remains at 1/2 Vdd.

のいずれかとなる。Next, when the clock signal is changed from L to H, the clocked inverters 5-12 are turned on, and the transistors 18-.
23, 25 and 29 are all turned off, and the short circuit between the bus lines is released. Signals corresponding to new inputs of the clocked inverters 5 to 8 are output to the bus lines 1 to 4,
The change amount of the potential is Vdd-Vt when the output signal is H
hn, 1/2 Vdd, or Vthp, and when the output is L, Vdd-Vthp, 1/2 Vdd, Vthn
Will be either.

を充放電するための消費電流値を低減できる。Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the output potential does not need to be changed by Vdd as in the conventional example, and the signal transmission of the bus line can be speeded up by that much (Δt). Further, since the potential change amount is small, the current consumption value for charging / discharging the load capacity can be reduced accordingly.

【0019】また、電位供給回路24、27は同時には
オンしないためここに流れる貫通電流はない。Further, since the potential supply circuits 24 and 27 are not turned on at the same time, there is no through current flowing there.
【0020】尚、本実施例では簡単のため4本のバスラ

施例が適応できる。Further, if there are a plurality of wirings and load capacitances associated therewith, this embodiment can be applied regardless of the name of a bus line.
【0022】また、Vthpの設定は例えば1/4Vd
d>Vdd−Vthp>0、Vthnの設定は例えばV
dd>Vthn>3/4Vddであっても良く、同様の
効果がある。The setting of Vthp is, for example, 1/4 Vd.
The setting of d>Vdd-Vthp> 0 and Vthn is, for example, V
It may be dd>Vthn> 3 / 4Vdd, and has the same effect.

通電流が増えるが高速動作に対しては効果がある。Although the potential supply circuits 24 and 27 are set so as not to be turned on at the same time, for example, the transistors 26 and 2 are used.
There is no 8 and the potential supply circuits 24 and 27 are simultaneously turned on,
Even if the bus line is set to a certain intermediate potential, the through current flowing therethrough increases, but it is effective for high-speed operation.
【0024】また、電位供給回路24、27は必ずしも
両方必要ではなく、例えば電位供給回路24だけの場合
