As operations of an SRAM, there are writing and reading operations, and
only a portion of the whole memory operates during performing these
operations, while another portion thereof stores a value. By lowering a
current consumed in a period of storing this value, a semiconductor
device with low power consumption is provided. The present invention
provides a semiconductor device with reduced drive voltage in a period of
storing a value, compared with a period of writing a value or a period of
reading a value. Such a semiconductor device includes a power supply
control circuit including an OR circuit electrically connected to a word
line, an inverter circuit electrically connected to the OR circuit, and a
transistor electrically connected to the OR circuit and the inverter
circuit.
