    Abstract: A circuit includes a current mirror circuit (CM circuit) including first and second transistors, a third transistor whose drain is electrically connected to a drain of the second transistor, a switch controlling the current output from the circuit, and first and second memory circuits. A reference current of the CM circuit is input to a drain of the first transistor; a current that is a copy of the reference current is output from the drain of the second transistor. When a current is output from the circuit, the reference current is not input to the CM circuit. A drain current corresponding to a voltage stored in the first memory circuit flows through the second transistor; a drain current corresponding to a voltage stored in the second memory circuit flows through the third transistor. The difference between the two drain currents corresponds to the output current of the circuit.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided; the semiconductor device includes unipolar transistors. A steady-state current does not flow in the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device uses a high-level potential and a low-level potential to express a high level and a low level, respectively. The semiconductor device includes unipolar transistors, a capacitor, first and second input terminals, and an output terminal. To the second input terminal, a signal is input whose logic is inverted from the logic of a signal input to the first input terminal. The semiconductor device has a circuit structure called bootstrap in which two unipolar transistors are connected in series between the high-level potential and the low-level potential and a capacitor is provided between an output terminal and a gate of one of the two transistors. A delay is caused between the gate of the transistor and the signal output from the output terminal, whereby the bootstrap can be certainly performed.

    Abstract: Since power source voltages are different depending on circuits used for devices, a circuit for outputting at least two or more power sources is additionally prepared. An object is to unify outputs of the power source voltages. A transistor using an oxide semiconductor is provided in such a manner that electrical charge is retained in a node where the transistor and a capacitor are electrically connected to each other, a reset signal is applied to a gate of the transistor to switch the states of the transistor from off to on, and the node is reset when the transistor is on. A circuit configuration that generates and utilizes a potential higher than or equal to a potential of a single power source can be achieved.
