ABSTRACT:
A data holding circuit includes a first data holding unit, a second data holding unit and a selection unit. In the first data holding unit, a probability of a soft error at a time when input data has a first level is lower than a probability of a soft error at a time when the input data has a second level. In the second data holding unit, a probability of a soft error at a time when the input data has the second level is lower than a probability of a soft error at a time when the input data has the first level. The selection unit selects an output from the first data holding unit when the input data has the first level, and selects an output from the second data holding unit when the input data has the second level.
