    Abstract: A semiconductor device according to one embodiment includes first and second transistor columns which each include a NMOS transistor and a PMOS transistor which are connected in series between a first power wire and a second power wire. Further, a gate of the PMOS transistor of one transistor column is connected to a wire which connects the NMOS transistor and the PMOS transistor of the other transistor column. Furthermore, an AC signal obtained by superimposing a signal on a bias voltage which is a voltage lower than that of the gate of the PMOS transistor included in the same transistor column is supplied to the gate of the NMOS transistor included in the transistor column.

    Abstract: To provide a serial communication system that can flexibly or easily change a system configuration. For example, when coupled to first and second serial buses, a motor module transmits a first signal to the second serial bus. Subsequently, the motor module transmits a first command containing a candidate address to the first serial bus; meanwhile, the motor module searches for an address where an acknowledgement is not received in response to the first command. The motor module transmits the search result address to the second serial bus. A control unit at the reception of the first signal changes to a sleep state that stops communications with the first serial bus and receives an address as a search result from the second serial bus.
