Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor device includes a charging circuit, a discharging circuit, a detection circuit, and a storage circuit. The charging circuit performs charging based on a first signal and a second signal. The discharging circuit performs discharging based on a third signal. The detection circuit outputs a fourth signal that has a level that varies based on a change in a rate of change of potential. The storage circuit receives a fifth signal and the fourth signal, stores a level of the fifth signal based on a first edge of the fourth signal, and outputs the second signal that is based on the stored level. The outputting is performed based on a second edge of the fourth signal.
