A multi-threshold CMOS system and method controls a state of respective blocks individually. Each block includes a logic circuit having a logic transistor and a control transistor connected between the logic circuit and a power line connected to one of a ground and a power source. The control transistor has a higher threshold than the logic transistor. The blocks are controlled by generating an individual block ON/OFF signal for each block, generating an individual control signal in response to the individual block ON/OFF signal, supplying the individual control signal to the control transistor and controlling voltage supply to the logic circuit within each block in accordance with the individual control signal.
