ABSTRACT:
An analog/digital hybrid masterslice IC includes an analog circuit section formed by a CMOS analog section and an analog master section in which a plurality of basic blocks are arranged in array form, and a digital circuit section formed by a gate array section. The digital circuit section operates under a power source voltage lower than that supplied to the analog circuit section. The IC further includes a selector circuit disposed between the digital circuit section and the analog circuit section, for testing the analog circuit section and the digital circuit section independently from each other, and a level shift circuit disposed between the selector circuit and the analog master section, for amplifying an output level from the gate array section. The level shift circuit is fixedly built-in in a masterwafer substrate as a hard-macro. The arrangement ensures that there is no possibility of any digital noise entering the analog circuit.
