Patent attributes
A semiconductor device that updates a weight coefficient used for arithmetic operation by an artificial neural network is provided. Each of the first to third memory cells draws a current corresponding to data of its retention node and changes the data in accordance with the potentials of first and second wirings. When a weight coefficient and first and second reference data are held in the retention nodes of the first to third memory cells, the first circuit supplies, to a third wiring, a constant currents drawn by the second and third memory cells. When input data is input to the first wiring, a difference current between the constant current and a current drawn by the first memory cell is changed, and the second circuit outputs arithmetic result data corresponding to the change. The third circuit inputs update data corresponding to the arithmetic result data to the second wiring.
