Abstract
A semiconductor circuit according to the present disclosure includes: first and second inverters coupled to first and second power supply nodes, a first control line, a first storage circuit, first and second power supply switches, first and second bit lines, a first word line, first and second transistors each having a gate coupled to the first word line, and a driving section that is configured to perform a first driving operation and a second driving operation. In the first driving operation, in a period in which the first and second power supply switches are turned on, the first word line is set active, and signals having logic levels different from each other are applied to the respective first and second bit lines. In the second driving operation, in a period in which the first and second power supply switches are turned off, the first word line is set active, and a first alternating-current signal and a second alternating-current signal are respectively applied to the first and second bit lines. The first alternating-current signal and the second alternating-current signal are signals in phase with each other.
