This application is a U.S. National Phase Application under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application PCT/IB2020/053904, filed on Apr. 27, 2020, which is incorporated by reference and claims the benefit of a foreign priority application filed in Japan on May 8, 2019, as Application No. 2019-087999.
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a semiconductor device.
In this specification and the like, a semiconductor device generally means a device that can function by utilizing semiconductor characteristics. It can be sometimes said that a display device (a liquid crystal display device, a light-emitting display device, and the like), a projection device, a lighting device, an electro-optical device, a power storage device, a memory device, a semiconductor circuit, an imaging device, a sensor device, and the like include a semiconductor device.
An audio codec is used for encoding analog audio data into digital data and decoding digital audio data into analog data in various applications. A mixer circuit in the audio codec has a function of amplifying and adding audio signals input from a plurality of channels and includes a circuit for controlling its gain (amplification factor).
A multiplier (also referred to as a multiplier circuit) for multiplying a first signal and a second signal is utilized in a mixer circuit for mixing signals. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a Gilbert circuit (also referred to as a Gilbert cell) for performing mixing.
