    摘要: To provide a semiconductor device that inhibits unexpected output of a high-level signal immediately after the rise of a power supply voltage. A semiconductor device includes a first buffer circuit, a level shifter circuit, and a second buffer circuit. A first potential is supplied to the first buffer circuit, and a second potential is supplied to the level shifter circuit and the second buffer circuit; consequently, the semiconductor device returns to a normal state. The first potential is supplied to the first buffer circuit before the second potential is supplied to the level shifter circuit and the second buffer circuit, whereby the operations of the level shifter circuit and the second buffer circuit can be controlled. This inhibits unexpected output of a high-level signal to a wiring connected to the second buffer circuit.

    摘要: A semiconductor device excellent in writing operation is provided. In a structure where a data voltage supplied to a source line is supplied to a node of a memory cell via a bit line, a switch is provided between memory cells connected to the bit line. During a period in which the data voltage is supplied to the node of the memory cell, the switch on the bit line, which is provided between the memory cells, is off. With such a structure, parasitic capacitance of the bit line during a period in which the data voltage is supplied to the node of the memory cell can be reduced. As a result, writing of the data voltage into the memory cell can be performed fast.

    摘要: To provide a semiconductor device including a volatile memory which achieves high speed operation and lower power consumption. For example, the semiconductor device includes an SRAM provided with first and second data holding portions and a non-volatile memory provided with third and fourth second data holding portions. The first data holding portion is electrically connected to the fourth data holding portion through a transistor. The second data holding portion is electrically connected to the third data holding portion through a transistor. While the SRAM holds data, the transistor is on so that both the SRAM and the non-volatile memory hold the data. Then, the transistor is turned off before supply of power is stopped, so that the data becomes non-volatile.

    摘要: A sample-and-hold circuit including a transistor and a capacitor is connected to the differential circuit. The sample-and-hold circuit acquires voltage for correcting the offset voltage of the differential circuit by charging or discharging the capacitor through sampling operation. Then, it holds the potential of the capacitor through holding operation. In normal operation of the differential circuit, the output potential of the differential circuit is corrected by the potential held by the capacitor. The transistor in the sample-and-hold circuit is preferably a transistor whose channel is formed using an oxide semiconductor. An oxide semiconductor transistor has extremely low leakage current; thus, a change in the potential held in the capacitor of the sample-and-hold circuit can be minimized.
