Abstract:
A semiconductor device capable of product-sum operation with low power consumption is provided. The semiconductor device includes first and second circuits; the first circuit includes a first holding portion and a first transistor, and the second circuit includes a second holding portion and a second transistor. The first and second circuits are each electrically connected to first and second input wirings and first and second wirings. The first holding portion has a function of holding a first current flowing through the first transistor, and the second holding portion has a function of holding a second current flowing through the second transistor. The first and second currents are determined in accordance with first data. When a potential corresponding to second data is input to the first and second input wirings, the first circuit outputs a current to one of the first wiring and the second wiring and the second circuit outputs a current to the other of the first wiring and the second wiring. The amount of current output from the first or second circuit to the first wiring or the second wiring is determined in accordance with the first data and the second data.
