Abstract
A semiconductor circuit includes first (IV1, IV3) and second (IV2, IV4) circuits, first (31) and second (32) transistors, a first storage element (35), and a driver (22, 23, 52, 53). The first (IV1, IV3) and second (IV2, IV4) circuits, respectively, apply inverted voltages of voltages at first (N1) and second (N2) nodes to the second (N2) and first (N1) nodes. The first transistor (31) is turned on to couple the first (N1) and third nodes. The second transistor (32) includes a gate coupled to the first node (N1), a drain and a source. One of the drain and the source is coupled to the third node, and another is supplied with a first control voltage (SCL1). The first storage element (35) includes a first end coupled to the third node and a second end supplied with a second control voltage (SCTRL). The first storage element (35) is able to take a first or second resistance state. The driver (22, 23, 52, 53) controls operation of the first transistor (31) and generates the first (SCL1) and second (SCTRL) control voltages.
