ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising a temperature sensor including an element having a PN junction, an inverter for receiving an output of the temperature sensor, and a controller for controlling supply of an electric energy to a group of MOS integrated circuit elements on the basis of an output of the inverter, wherein the supply of the electric energy to the group of MOS integrated circuit elements is controlled on the basis of the output of the temperature sensor to automatically prevent the breakdown of the internal circuit due to excessive temperature rise by the device itself.
