Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device enabling to suppress waste of energy consumption. There is provided a semiconductor device including: an input unit configured to input a charge; a memory unit configured to collect and accumulate a charge from the input unit; and an output unit configured to detect and output a charge accumulated in the memory unit. The memory unit includes a transfer unit to which a plurality of pairs of a gate unit and an accumulation unit is connected, the gate unit selects the accumulation unit that accumulates a charge, the transfer unit transfers a charge from the input unit to the accumulation unit selected by the gate unit, the accumulation unit accumulates a charge transferred from the transfer unit, and the transfer unit transfers a charge accumulated in the accumulation unit selected by the gate unit, to the output unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an analog memory device.
