A macrocell including a physical layer circuit includes a transmitter
circuit and a receiver circuit connected with pads for differential
signals DP and DM. The transmitter circuit includes a transmission driver
which drives a signal line for the DP and a transmission driver which
drives a signal line for the DM. When a direction from a side SD1 to a
side SD3 of the macrocell is defined as a first direction, the
transmission drivers are disposed on the side of the pads for the DP and
DM in the first direction and are disposed line-symmetrically about a
line SYL, and the receiver circuit is disposed on the side of the
transmitter circuit in the first direction. A routing region of signal
lines SLR1 and SLR2 for connecting the receiver circuit with the pads for
the DP and DM is provided in the region between the transmission drivers.
