Abstract
A memory device is provided which includes a memory circuit that allows a circuit which carries out a refresh operation to suitably carry out an original operation of the circuit even if an off-leakage current occurs in a transfer element used in a transfer section. A memory cell includes a switching circuit, a first retaining section, a transfer section, a second retaining section, a first control section, and a voltage supply, and the first control section is controlled to be in (i) a state in which the first control section carries out a first operation in which the first control section is in an active state or a non-active state and (ii) a state in which the first control section carries out a second operation.
