ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor integrated circuit apparatus and an electronic apparatus having a power control function configured from power control MOS transistors such that leakage current and on-resistance at the time of cut-off is sufficiently small in actual use. The semiconductor integrated circuit apparatus includes a CMOS logic circuit, a first pseudo power supply line connected to a high potential side power supply terminal of the CMOS logic circuit, a second pseudo power supply line connected to a low potential side power supply terminal of the CMOS logic circuit, and a power control NchMOS transistor connected across the second pseudo power supply line and a low potential side power supply line, with the substrate and gate of the power control NchMOS transistor being electrically connected. The gate and the substrate may also be connected via a current limiter utilizing a source follower of a depletion type NchMOS transistor.
