A semiconductor device comprises a floating body type transistor and first and second circuits. The transistor has a floating body and a source-drain path inserted between first and second circuit nodes. The first circuit supplies a first signal to the gate of the transistor, and the first signal changes between a first logic level that holds the transistor in a non-conductive state and a second logic level that directs the transistor into a conductive state. The second circuit supplies a first voltage level near the second logic level to the first circuit node and supplies a second voltage level near the second logic level to the second circuit node, each as a level in a state where the transistor is not utilized. Thereby the gate capacitance of the transistor can be kept small as viewed from the gate, and high-speed operation and a reduction in consumption current can be achieved.
