Patent ID: 10186311

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a memory cell, a buffer circuit, a switch, first to p-th switch circuits, and first to p-th capacitors (p is an integer of 2 or more). The first to p-th switch circuits each include first to third terminals. The memory cell is electrically connected to a first electrode of the first capacitor and an input terminal of the buffer circuit through the switch. A second electrode of an i-th capacitor is electrically connected to a first terminal of an i-th switch circuit and a first electrode of an (i+1)th capacitor (i is an integer of 1 to (p−1)). A second electrode of the p-th capacitor is electrically connected to a first terminal of the p-th switch circuit. An output terminal of the buffer circuit is electrically connected to a second terminal of each of the first to p-th switch circuits. A third terminal of each of the first to p-th switch circuits is electrically connected to a wiring supplying a low-level potential.
