SEMICONDUCTOR APPARATUS AND REDUCED CURRENT AND POWER CONSUMPTION

摘要

A semiconductor apparatus may include a mode control circuit configured to output differential output signals which swing in a current mode logic (CML) area and a first control signal, in response to a power-down mode signal; a first circuit unit configured to be provided with the differential output signals, and operate in a power-down mode; and a second circuit unit configured to be provided with the differential output signals, and be interrupted in its operation in the power-down mode.

1. The semiconductor apparatus comprising:
a control signal generation unit configured to output a first control signal and a second control signal in response to a power-down mode signal; and a CML circuit unit configured to generate first and second output signals which swing in a current mode logic (CML) area, as differential output signals, in response to the second control signal.
