    Abstract: The inventive concept relates to a semiconductor device including a CMOS circuit and an operation method thereof. A semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the inventive concept includes a semiconductor circuit, a controller, and a voltage generator. The semiconductor circuit operates at a drive voltage to reduce the delay time between input and output as the temperature increases. The controller determines the malfunction of the CMOS circuit based on the difference between the source-drain current of the PMOS transistor and the source-drain current of the NMOS transistor as the temperature changes. The voltage generator generates or adjusts a body-bias voltage applied to the PMOS transistor or the NMOS transistor based on a malfunction determination of the controller. According to the inventive concept, malfunctions and performance deterioration occurring in a CMOS circuit operating at a low voltage may be reduced.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a neuromorphic arithmetic device. The neuromorphic arithmetic device may include first and second synapse circuits, a charging/discharging circuit, a comparator, and a counter. The first synapse circuit may generate a first current by performing a first multiplication operation on a first PWM signal and a first weight, and the second synapse circuit may generate a second current by performing a second multiplication operation on a second PWM signal and a second weight. The charging/discharging circuit may store charges induced by the first current and the second current in a charging period, and may discharge the charges in a discharging period. The comparator may compare a voltage level of the charges discharged in the discharging period and a level of a reference voltage. The counter may count output pulses of an oscillator on the basis of a result of the comparison by the comparator.
