Abstract
A semiconductor device includes non-volatile registers, each including a holding circuit to hold data in a volatile manner and a non-volatile element. An address is allocated to each of the non-volatile registers. A non-volatile register control circuit performs control such that, in response to a write instruction, data held in the holding circuit is written to the non-volatile element in the non-volatile register having the address specified by the instruction and in response to a load instruction, data held in the non-volatile element is held in the holding circuit in the non-volatile register having the address specified by the instruction.
