Semiconductor device
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a core circuit including an integrated circuit; output drivers, each including sub-drivers to output digital data transferred from the core circuit, as output data; and a selector that selects a sub-driver to be driven from among the plurality of sub-drivers. Each of the sub-drivers includes: an output transistor connected between a first power supply and an output wiring line to allow the output data to rise or fall according to the digital data; and a switching transistor and a slew-rate control transistor which are connected in series between a gate of the output transistor and a second power supply. The switching transistor turns on or off the output transistor according to the digital data. A gate potential adjusted to determine a slew rate for rise or fall of the output data is selectively provided by the selector to each slew-rate control transistor.
