DRIVE
August 5, 2021
To provide a battery control circuit with a novel structure, a battery protection circuit with a novel structure, and a power storage device including the battery circuit. The semiconductor device includes n cell-balance circuits (n is an integer greater than or equal to 1). One secondary battery is electrically connected to one cell-balance circuit. The cell-balance circuit includes a comparison circuit, and a memory element is electrically connected to an inverting input terminal of the comparison circuit. The memory element includes a first transistor and a capacitor. A potential is retained. The retained potential changes in accordance with a change in a potential of a negative electrode of the secondary battery. The comparison circuit has a function of comparing the retained potential with a potential of a positive electrode of the secondary battery. Output from the comparison circuit controls a gate voltage of a second transistor electrically connected to the secondary battery in parallel. The first transistor includes a metal oxide including indium in a channel formation region.
