Abstract

A semiconductor circuit according to the present disclosure includes a first circuit that generates an inverted voltage of a voltage at a first node, and applies the inverted voltage to a second nodes, a second circuit that generates an inverted voltage of a voltage at the second node, and applies the inverted voltage to the first node, a first memory element that has a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal, and stores information by setting a resistance state between the second terminal and the third terminal to a first resistance state or a second resistance state in accordance with a direction of a first current flowing between the first terminal and the second terminal, a first transistor that couples the first node to the third terminal of the first memory element and a second transistor that is coupled to a first coupling node.
