ABSTRACT:
In a semiconductor device where a CMOS circuit and a bipolar circuit are mixed, the bipolar circuit is operated between a first power supply voltage and a second power supply voltage, and the CMOS circuit and a level conversion circuit between a CMOS level and a bipolar level are operated between the first power supply voltage and a third power supply voltage. The third power supply voltage is between the first and second power supply voltages.
