    Abstract: The storage device includes a volatile first memory circuit and a nonvolatile second memory circuit which includes a transistor whose channel is formed in an oxide semiconductor layer. In the case of high-frequency driving, during a period when source voltage is applied, a data signal is input to and output from the first memory circuit, and during a part of a period when source voltage is supplied, which is before the supply of the source voltage is stopped, a data signal is input to the second memory circuit. In the case of low-frequency driving, during a period when source voltage is applied, a data signal is input to the second memory circuit, the data signal input to the second memory circuit is input to the first memory circuit, and the data signal input to the first memory circuit is output.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit which can be switched to a resting state and can be returned from the resting state rapidly is provided. An integrated circuit whose power consumption can be reduced without the decrease in operation speed is provided. A method for driving the integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a first flip-flop and a second flip-flop including a nonvolatile memory circuit. In an operating state in which power is supplied, the first flip-flop retains data. In a resting state in which supply of power is stopped, the second flip-flop retains data. On transition from the operating state into the resting state, the data is transferred from the first flip-flop to the second flip-flop. On return from the resting state to the operating state, the data is transferred from the second flip-flop to the first flip-flop.

    Abstract: An imaging device whose dynamic range can be wide with a simple structure is provided. In a circuit configuration and an operation method of the imaging device, whether a charge detection portion provided in a pixel is saturated with electrons is determined and an operation mode is changed depending on the determination result. First imaging data is captured first, and is read out in the case where the charge detection portion is not saturated with electrons. In the case where the charge detection portion is saturated with electrons, the saturation of the charge detection portion is eliminated and second imaging data is captured and read out.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a pixel; a digital circuit; and an analog processing circuit including a constant current circuit, a current comparison circuit, and a control circuit. The pixel is capable of outputting differential data. The constant current circuit is capable of supplying a first current corresponding to the differential data, in accordance with a first control signal. The current comparison circuit is capable of supplying a second current that flows through the constant current circuit in accordance with a change in the differential data. The current comparison circuit has a function of setting a determination signal active depending on whether to supply the second current to the constant current circuit. The control circuit has a function of controlling the constant current circuit and the current comparison circuit to stop their functions as the determination signal becomes active. The digital circuit operates as the determination signal becomes active.
