    摘要: An object is to provide a semiconductor device that can maintain the connection relation between logic circuit units or the circuit configuration of each of the logic circuit units even after supply of power supply voltage is stopped. Another object is to provide a semiconductor device in which the connection relation between logic circuit units or the circuit configuration of each of the logic circuit units can be changed at high speed. In a reconfigurable circuit, an oxide semiconductor is used for a semiconductor element that stores data on the circuit configuration, connection relation, or the like. Specifically, the oxide semiconductor is used for a channel formation region of the semiconductor element.

    摘要: A bootstrap circuit of which the capacitance of a bootstrap capacitor is small and which requires a shorter precharge period is provided. The bootstrap circuit includes transistors M41 and M42, capacitors BSC1 and BSC2, an inverter INV41, and keeper circuits 43 and 44. A signal OSG with a high voltage is generated from an input signal OSG_IN. As the signal OSG_IN is made a high level, a node SWG is made a high level by BSC1. After a signal BSE1 is made a high level and the node SWG is made a low level by the keeper circuit 44, a signal BSE2 is made a high level. By the capacitance coupling of BSC2, a voltage of an output terminal 22 increases.

    摘要: The data in a volatile memory may conventionally be lost even in case of a very short time power down or supply voltage drop such as an outage or sag. In view of the foregoing, an object is to extend data retention time even with a volatile memory for high-speed data processing. Data retention time can be extended by backing up the data content stored in the volatile memory in a memory including a capacitor and an oxide semiconductor transistor.
