A semiconductor device in which operation delay due to stop and restart of the supply of a power supply potential is suppressed is provided. Potentials corresponding to data held in first and second nodes while the supply of a power supply potential is continued are backed up in third and fourth nodes while the supply of the power supply potential is stopped. After the supply of the power supply potential is restarted, data are restored to the first and second nodes by utilizing a change in channel resistance of a transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the third or fourth node. Note that shoot-through current is suppressed at the time of data restoration by electrically disconnecting the power supply potential and the first or second node from each other.
