Semiconductor device

摘要

To provide a semiconductor device that has a novel structure and achieves a higher degree of convenience, the semiconductor device is configured to include a memory cell that stores binary data or multilevel data, and a reading circuit that reads the data stored in the memory cell and transfers the data to the outside. The reading circuit includes a first reading circuit for reading binary data and a second reading circuit for reading multilevel data.
