Patent attributes
The power of a semiconductor device is reduced. The semiconductor device includes a latch circuit composed of a dynamic circuit. The latch circuit includes a first circuit having a decoding function, a plurality of capacitors, a plurality of clock input terminals, a signal input terminal, a first output terminal, and a second output terminal. In a period during which “H” is supplied to a first clock signal, the potential of the first capacitor is updated on the basis of the results of decoding performed by the first circuit. In a period during which “H” is supplied to a second clock signal, the potential of the second capacitor is updated on the basis of the potential of the first capacitor, and the potential of the second capacitor is supplied as a first output signal to the first output terminal. In a period during which “H” is supplied to a third clock signal, the potential of the third capacitor is updated on the basis of the potential of the second capacitor, and the potential of the third capacitor is supplied as a second output signal to the second output terminal.
