  • Patent number: 9721968
    Abstract: A semiconductor device with a novel structure that can consume less power and have a reduced size of a circuit. In the semiconductor device, when configuration operation is started in a path transistor in a configuration memory, supply of an H-level potential to a signal pass node is stopped and then the potential of the signal pass node is set at L level, whereby configuration data is input to a memory potential retaining node, which is a gate of the path transistor. After the configuration operation is completed, the supply of the H-level potential to the signal pass node is resumed so that capacitive coupling occurs between the path transistor and the memory potential retaining node and increase the gate potential of the path transistor, so that a boosting effect is obtained. The above structure eliminates the need for a keeper circuit, reducing the power consumption and the circuit area.

  • Patent number: 9640226
    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor device having large memory capacity and high reliability of data or a small-size semiconductor device having a small circuit area. A memory cell includes first and second data retention portions capable of storing multilevel data. A data voltage is written to the first data retention portion from a first wiring through a transistor and a second wiring, and a data voltage is written to the second data retention portion from the second wiring through a transistor and the first wiring. With the configuration, data voltages reduced by the threshold voltages of the transistors can be retained in the first and second data retention portions. The written data voltages where the threshold voltages of the transistors are canceled can be read by precharging and then discharging the first wiring.

  • Publication number: 20170103714
    Abstract: A semiconductor device with a novel structure is provided. The amount of data supplied to the semiconductor device for driving a display device including different display elements is reduced, so that the circuit area is reduced and power consumption is reduced. In a driver circuit for driving the display device including different display elements, gradation data to be applied to the display elements is generated. The generated gradation data given to different display elements are configured to differ in accordance with the designed luminance based on gradation data to be displayed and the intensity of reflected light based on illuminance data. Because the amount of data from the exterior to the driver circuit can be reduced, low power consumption due to a reduction in the data transfer rate, and a reduction in the circuit area due to a reduction in the size of an interface can be achieved.
