1. A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising:
a first power supply region supplied with a first power supply voltage, and having a first clock distribution network;
a second power supply region supplied with a second power supply voltage, and having a second clock distribution network;
a first phase synchronizer which provides a first output signal obtained by making a phase of a reference clock signal for controlling a data input/output coincident with a phase of a clock signal at a first point of the first clock distribution network, to a second point of the first clock distribution network; and
a second phase synchronizer which provides a second output signal obtained by making the phase of the reference clock signal coincident with a phase of a clock signal at a first point of the second clock distribution network, to a second point of the second clock distribution network,
wherein the semiconductor integrated circuit has a mode for changing a value of the second power supply voltage to a value which is different from a value of the first power supply voltage.
