    • In a semiconductor integrated circuit wherein low-threshold-voltage and high-threshold-voltage transistors are disposed mixedly, the operating speed of each transistor can be properly controlled in speed control execution through regulation of a power supply voltage VDD. The semiconductor integrated circuit comprises an internal circuit and measuring circuits. The internal circuit comprises a low-threshold-voltage MOS transistor and a high-threshold-voltage MOS transistor, and the degree of threshold voltage variation of the low-threshold-voltage MOS transistor is larger than the degree of threshold voltage variation of the high-threshold-voltage MOS transistor. The measuring circuit detects which one of fast, typical, and slow states is taken by both the low-threshold-voltage MOS transistor and the high-threshold-voltage MOS transistor. When the result data detected indicates the fast state, the power supply voltage VDD is set to a lower power supply voltage level “VDD−ΔVDD” corresponding to a small variation gradient “β[V/σ]”. When the result data detected indicates the typical state, the power supply voltage VDD is set to an intermediate power supply voltage level “VDD±0”. When the result data detected indicates the slow state, the power supply voltage VDD is set to a higher power supply voltage level “VDD+ΔVDD” corresponding to a large variation gradient “α[V/σ]”.

    • The performance of a whole system is improved by synchronizing communication and computations between stacked computing LSIs. Each of stacked an external communication LSI and a computing LSI has a PLL which multiplies a crystal oscillator clock signal, a clock pulse generator which distributes the clock signal, and flip-flop circuits. The computing LSI has a DLL circuit composed of a clock phase comparator, a delay controller, and a delay chain. In order to synchronize the communication and computations of the external communication LSI and the computing LSI, a synchronization reference clock signal is transmitted from the external communication LSI to the computing LSI via a through-electrode. An internal clock signal of the computing LSI is synchronized with the synchronization reference clock signal from the external communication LSI by the DLL circuit.
