Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 84 words
A master slice type semiconductor integrated circuit comprising: a plurality of pads (14, 14a - 14d) arranged at a predetermined pitch; and n ( n is an integer of 2 or more) I/O cells (13, 13a - 13i) arranged for each of said plurality of pads, each I/O cell being provided with at least a buffer (15), characterized in that the n number of I/O cells (13, 13a - 13i) per pad (14, 14a - 14d) is set in accordance with the pad pitch.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 84 words
A master slice type semiconductor integrated circuit comprising: a plurality of pads (14, 14a - 14d) arranged at a predetermined pitch; and n ( n is an integer of 2 or more) I/O cells (13, 13a - 13i) arranged for each of said plurality of pads, each I/O cell being provided with at least a buffer (15), characterized in that the n number of I/O cells (13, 13a - 13i) per pad (14, 14a - 14d) is set in accordance with the pad pitch.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
A circuit according to claim 1, characterized in that said buffers (15) included in said I/O cells (13, 13a - 13i) have equal drive capacities.
