    Abstract: The power consumption of a semiconductor device that can function as a latch circuit or the like is reduced. The semiconductor device includes a first circuit and a switch that controls conduction between an input terminal and the first circuit. The first circuit includes n second circuits (n is an integer of 2 or more) and a variable resistor. An output node of any of the n second circuits is electrically connected to an input node of the second circuit in a first stage through the variable resistor. The variable resistor can be, for example, a transistor whose channel is formed in an oxide semiconductor layer. A reduction in the number of elements or signals leads to a reduction of the power consumption of the semiconductor device.

    Abstract: The storage circuit includes first and second logic circuits, first and second transistors whose channel formation regions include an oxide semiconductor, and a capacitor. The first and second transistors are connected to each other in series, and the capacitor is connected to a connection node of the first and second transistors. The first transistor functions as a switch that controls connection between an output terminal of the first logic circuit and the capacitor. The second transistor functions as a switch that controls connection between the capacitor and an input terminal of the second logic circuit. Clock signals whose phases are inverted from each other are input to gates of the first and second transistors. Since the storage circuit has a small number of transistors and a small number of transistors controlled by the clock signals, the storage circuit is a low-power circuit.

    Abstract: A retention circuit provided in a logic circuit enables power gating. The retention circuit includes a first terminal, a node, a capacitor, and first to third transistors. The first transistor controls electrical connection between the first terminal and an input terminal of the logic circuit. The second transistor controls electrical connection between an output terminal of the logic circuit and the node. The third transistor controls electrical connection between the node and the input terminal of the logic circuit. A gate of the first transistor is electrically connected to a gate of the second transistor. In a data retention period, the node becomes electrically floating. The voltage of the node is held by the capacitor.
