摘要

The cell based integrated circuit (100) for use with a library of basic modules, has two supply voltage connections and a standard cell (10), which has a thyristor circuit (20). Two entrances are provided for entering supply voltages, and two exits are provided, where former exit spends former supply voltage appropriate to an output voltage and latter exit for spending latter supply voltage appropriate to another output voltage. The thyristor circuit has two metal oxide semiconductor transistors. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for operation of a thyristor circuit and a logic gate circuit in a standard cell of a cell-based integrated circuit (2) a circuit, which has a connection coupled to a supply voltage (3) a method for switching a connection between two connections.
