[0266]In this embodiment, an example of a circuit of a semiconductor device including a transistor or the like of one embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0267]A circuit diagram in FIG. 24A illustrates a configuration of a so-called CMOS inverter in which a p-channel transistor 2200 and an n-channel transistor 2100 are connected to each other in series and gates of them are connected to each other. It is preferable that a transistor including an oxide semiconductor be used as the n-channel transistor 2100. Thus, power consumption of the CMOS inverter circuit can be reduced.

[0268]A circuit diagram in FIG. 24B illustrates a configuration in which sources of the transistors 2100 and 2200 are connected to each other and drains of the transistors 2100 and 2200 are connected to each other. With such a configuration, the transistors can function as a so-called CMOS analog switch. It is preferable that a transistor including an oxide semiconductor be used as the n-channel trans...
