However, when the logic is inverted, both the P-channel MOS transistor and the N-channel MOS transistor are turned on, so a fairly large current flows between the power supply electrodes of the CMOS circuit, and the input logic level changes from "1" to Since it is at an intermediate level of "0", it is sensitive to noise. In particular, when the input logic level is gradually changed from “1” to “0” level,
Or when changing from “0” to “1” level,
The features of CMOS circuits, such as low power consumption and high noise margin, are completely lost. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to detect the transient state of a CMOS circuit and use the detection signal obtained thereby to improve the characteristics of the CMOS circuit, such as power consumption and noise margin. .

For example, if the /A circuit 17 is replaced with an exclusive OR circuit and the inverter 18 is omitted, the characteristics of 1 and n shown in FIG. This allows the desired output of the exclusive-OR circuit to be obtained in response to transient conditions. Also, load resistance 1
1 and 15 need to have high resistance in order to reduce the power consumption of this detection circuit and steepen the input/output characteristics. FIGS. 3 and 4 show signals from the detection circuit of FIG. 1, which make the CMOS circuit more resistant to noise by inhibiting noise-sensitive circuits or noise-averse circuits. That is, in FIG. 3, an AND circuit 23 is provided in the signal transmission path between the CMOS circuits 21 and 22, the detection circuit 24 shown in FIG. 1 detects the transient state of the output of the CMOS circuit 21, and the AND circuit 23 applies an inhibit.
