Description of the Invention (1) [Technical Field] (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The present invention relates to general semiconductor integrated circuits. In particular, it is used to generate multi-phase clock signals. Semiconductor integrated circuit of ring oscillator circuit. [Background Art] In recent years, high-speed, small-amplitude serial signals are used for signal transmission between devices. According to this method, when digital signals are transmitted in parallel, it can be compared to 'except for a few cables, and EMI (electromagnetic interference: electromagnetic interference noise) which occurs in the transmission of digital signals can be suppressed. 〇 When high-speed serial communication is desired On the transmitting side, a parallel connection that converts parallel data to serial data using a multi-phase sub-clock signal (referred to as a multi-phase clock signal in this application) not only synchronized with the basic clock signal but also with an equally spaced phase difference is installed. -Series conversion circuit. For this purpose, a multi-phase clock generating circuit for generating a multi-phase clock signal is installed. This multi-phase clock signal must be supplied to a parallel-series conversion circuit.丨 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs As a multi-phase clock generation circuit, for example, a voltage or current controlled differential ring oscillation circuit formed by connecting multiple stages of delayed differential inversion amplifier circuits into a loop. According to this differential ring oscillator circuit, a multi-phase clock signal having an equally spaced phase difference can be easily pulled out from a multi-stage delayed differential inversion amplifier circuit. To correctly generate multi-phase clock signals with equally spaced phase differences from a high-speed differential ring oscillator circuit, not only the load of the multi-stage delay differential inversion amplifier circuit is equalized, but also the multi-phase clock signals must be wired. The floating capacitance becomes equal. This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -4- 522549 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (2) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) In the past, the When the load of the delay differential inversion amplifier circuit becomes equal, the N-stage delay differential inversion amplifier circuits constituting the differential ring oscillation circuit are arranged in two rows on the semiconductor substrate, and the successive delay differentials are arranged in each row. Inverting amplifier circuits are adjacent. By using this, the delay of the wiring between the output and the input of the N-stage delay differential inversion amplifier circuit is minimized, and a differential ring oscillator circuit that can oscillate with a high frequency can be realized. However, in order to achieve local-speed serial communication, the differential ring oscillator circuit required to output multi-phase clock signals with equally spaced phase differences is generally when the multi-phase is pulled from the output of a delay differential inversion amplifier circuit separated by one. The pulse signal, so, the signal is pulled out from each column of the delayed differential inversion amplifier circuit arranged in two columns. Therefore, according to the previous configuration and wiring, the winding wiring of one series of multi-phase clock signals becomes longer, and it will become difficult to keep the floating capacitance of the multi-phase clock signal wiring equal. In addition, since the winding of the multi-phase clock signal wiring must be performed in a relatively wide area around the differential ring oscillator circuit, there is a problem that the area of the semiconductor substrate becomes large. [Disclosure of Invention] Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economics. In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a multi-phase clock signal wiring that can suppress the This is a semiconductor integrated circuit that is caused by uneven clock phase accuracy due to uneven floating capacitance of multi-phase clock signal wiring or increased substrate area. In order to solve the above problems, the semiconductor integrated circuit according to the first aspect of the present invention is an N-segment amplifier circuit (N is a natural number) connected in a ring to perform an oscillating operation.

In addition, the semiconductor integrated circuit according to the second aspect of the present invention is an N-stage amplifier circuit (M and N are natural numbers) that output an M-phase clock signal having an equal phase interval by performing an oscillating operation by being connected in a ring shape. , MS Ν), and has: N segment amplifier circuits arranged in two rows on the semiconductor substrate, and M wirings required for extracting phase M clock signals from amplifier circuits arranged in only one of the two rows. According to the present invention, a plurality of output signals (multi-phase clock signals) can be taken out in one column of the N-segment amplifying circuit configured by dividing the semiconductor substrate into a plurality of columns, and a plurality of wirings are formed. Therefore, the floating capacitors of the multi-phase clock signals are wired. If it is equal, the degradation of clock phase accuracy can be suppressed or the substrate surface can be increased.

In this type of differential ring oscillator circuit, when a control voltage is applied to minimize the delay time to obtain a high oscillation frequency, not only the number of segments of the delay differential inversion amplifier circuit is required to the minimum, this paper scale is applicable to China Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) " -8-522549 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (6) and 'required to make the floating capacitance of the output wiring of the delay differential inversion amplifier circuit smaller and the unit delay The time T DELAY becomes smaller. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page.) However, to achieve high-speed serial communication, multiphase clock signals with equally spaced phase differences are required. The number of phases of a multi-phase clock signal is determined by the number of serial data corresponding to one parallel data. Generally, a multi-phase clock signal with 4 to 10 phases is required. Therefore, from among the clock signals φ 1 to Φ 16 shown in Fig. 3, a method of selecting a multi-phase clock signal having an equally spaced phase difference required for high-speed serial communication is described below. Generally, to make the clock of phase M, a differential ring oscillator circuit (n is a natural number) with a delay differential inversion amplifier circuit with n = η X Μ can be used. However, as described above, in the differential ring The minimum value of T cueK during the period of the oscillation circuit is determined by the number of segments of the delay differential inversion amplifier circuit and the unit delay time T DELAY of each segment. Therefore, when the high oscillation frequency required for series communication is obtained, the segment The number is preferably the minimum required. Therefore, the condition of η = 1 is generally selected, but the present invention can also be applied to the case where η > is printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In this embodiment, η = 1, that is, N = M. In order to make an 8-phase clock signal, a delay differential inversion amplifier circuit with 8 segments is required.

Fig. 4 is a circuit diagram showing a voltage controlled differential ring oscillator circuit and a buffer circuit including a semiconducting volume circuit according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Here, in the voltage differential ring oscillation circuit 100 shown in FIG. 1, in order to output the odd-numbered clock signals Φ 1, Φ 3, Φ 5 ..... Φ 1 5 as a multi-phase clock signal output 8 buffer circuits 30a ~ 301lh are required. To reduce the floating capacitance of the output wiring of the delay differential inversion amplifier circuit, when the circuit shown in Figure 4 is formed on a semiconductor substrate, it is necessary to configure and wire the self-delay differential inversion amplifier circuit 1 0 1 a The pull-out lines of polyphase clock signals from 3 to 1 hr to buffer circuit 3 0 1 a to 3 0 1 h 3 0 2 a to 3 0 2 d should be as short as possible. For this reason, the arrangement and wiring shown in FIG. 5 are conceivable. As shown in Fig. 5, two columns of delayed differential inversion amplifier circuits 1 0 1 a to 1 0 1 h are arranged. In each example, the delay inversion amplifier circuits that are continuous except for both ends are arranged adjacent to each other. In addition, the buffer circuit 3 0 1 a to 3 0 1 h is to make the pull-out wires 3 0 2 a to 3 0 2 d as short as possible, and the wiring is connected to the delay differential inversion amplifier circuit 1 0 1 a to 1 0 1 h. nearby. Because of the arrangement and wiring, the length of the wiring connecting the segments becomes the shortest, and the wiring parasitics caused by the wiring connecting the segments can be equalized and minimized.
