A semiconductor integrated circuit for radio communication includes a
receiving-system high frequency block, a receiving-system voice band
block, a transmitting-system voice band block, a transmitting-system high
frequency block, and a power source control circuit for performing power
source control to operate/stop each of the groups of circuits based on a
power source control signal. The power source control circuit performs
individual power source control for at least one circuit of the
multiplier, the noise detector, the voice signal power amplifier, and the
voice signal level detector, and also performs the power source control
for each of the receiving-system high frequency block, the
receiving-system voice band block, the transmitting-system voice band
block, and the transmitting-system high frequency block, except for the
at least one circuit subjected to the individual power source control.
