Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009212736
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To prevent deterioration in imprint characteristics of a ferroelectric capacitor in a semiconductor integrated circuit in which data signals of a latch circuit are held in the ferroelectric capacitor.
The semiconductor integrated circuit has a latch circuit 10 provided with a signal holding part 12 for holding data signals D, and ferroelectric capacitors F1, F2 electrically connected to the signal holding part 12 via switches TR1, TR2. Only during a prescribed period, the switches TR1, TR2 are turned on so as to hold a remanent polarization corresponding to potential of the data signal D in the ferroelectric capacitors F1, F2.
