An object is to provide a nonvolatile memory with reduced power consumption. The nonvolatile memory includes a memory element that has a low resistance state and a high resistance state, a writing circuit, a resistance element, a voltage source input terminal that inputs a writing voltage to the writing circuit, a bit line driver circuit that selects whether the memory element is connected to the writing circuit, and a word line driver circuit that selects whether or not writing is done in the memory element. With such as structure, power consumption during writing can be reduced, and a nonvolatile memory with low power consumption can be realized. Further, with such a nonvolatile memory, an active type wireless tag with a long lifetime of a battery or a passive type wireless tag with a wide communication range in which writing to a memory is possible, can be realized.
