Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor device capable of reducing a penalty associated with ensuring reliability. The semiconductor device includes a latch circuit which has input/output paths of three systems or more independent from each other. The latch circuit includes a plurality of storage elements STEto STEwhich are provided on the input/output paths of the three systems or more, respectively, and hold input data in synchronization with a clock signal. At least one storage element (for example, STE) of the plurality of storage elements STEto STEincludes a majority decision unit (for example,) executing a majority decision using data from the storage elements provided on other input/output paths different from the input/output path thereof and outputs data in which a result of the majority decision is reflected.
