    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a current control unit whose conductance is variable and a control unit configured to control the conductance of the current control unit. The current control unit is connected to a direct current power source in parallel with a load for the direct current power source, through a capacitor. The control unit sets the current control unit to a first conductance when the direct current power source and the load are not in a conduction state, and sets the current control unit to a second conductance larger than the first conductance when the direct current power source and the load are in the conduction state.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a plurality of first non-volatile registers including a retention circuit that retains volatile data and one or more non-volatile elements capable of retaining non-volatile data, and a second non-volatile register that retains a load enable bit that decides in which one of the plurality of first non-volatile registers data is loaded. The semiconductor integrated circuit also includes a non-volatile register control circuit that, when supply power is delivered from outside, loads to the retention circuit data retained by the non-volatile element(s) contained in the first non-volatile register specified by the load enable bit loaded from the second non-volatile register (FIG. 1).
