Abstract
A reduction in circuit size, an increase in operation speed, and a reduction in power consumption can be attained by a semiconductor device, in which capacitors are connected to multiple input terminals through switch, one terminal of each capacitance is commonly connected, and the common connection terminal is connected to a sense amplifier, including a reset at a floating point which is the contact between the common connection terminal of the capacitors and the input of the sense amplifier. In addition, an increase in yield can be realized by reducing the manufacturing cost.
