Abstract

A semiconductor device includes first to tenth transistors and first to fourth capacitors. Gates of the first and the fourth transistors are electrically connected to each other. First terminals of the first, second, fifth, and eighth transistors are electrically connected to a first terminal of the fourth capacitor. A second terminal of the fifth transistor is electrically connected to a gate of the sixth transistor and a first terminal of the second capacitor. A second terminal of the eighth transistor is electrically connected to a gate of the ninth transistor and a first terminal of the third capacitor. Gates of the second, seventh, and tenth transistors are electrically connected to first terminals of the third and fourth transistors and a first terminal of the first capacitor. First terminals of the sixth and seventh transistors are electrically connected to a second terminal of the second capacitor.
