Abstract: To provide a semiconductor device with high reliability in operation, in which data in a volatile memory can be saved to a non-volatile memory. For example, the semiconductor device includes an SRAM provided with first and second data storage portions and a non-volatile memory provided with third and fourth data storage portions. The first data storage portion is electrically connected to the fourth data storage portion through a transistor, and the second data storage portion is electrically connected to the third data storage portion through a transistor. The transistors are turned off when the SRAM operates, and the transistors are turned on when the SRAM does not operate, so that data in the SRAM is saved to the non-volatile memory. Precharge is performed when the SRAM is restored.

Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of measuring a minute current is provided. The semiconductor device includes an operational amplifier and a diode element. An inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier and an input terminal of the diode element are electrically connected to a first terminal to which current is input, and an output terminal of the operational amplifier and an output terminal of the diode element are electrically connected to a second terminal from which voltage is output. A diode-connected transistor that includes a metal oxide in a channel formation region is used as the diode element. Since the off-state current of the transistor is extremely low, a minute current can flow between the first terminal and the second terminal. Thus, when voltage is output from the second terminal, a minute current that flows through the first terminal can be estimated from the voltage.
