Abstract
A determination circuit of one embodiment includes first and second inverter circuits, a first transistor which turns on when receiving an asserted first signal, and a first capacity component including a first end which receives an inversion signal of the first signal. The second inverter circuit includes an input coupled to an output of the first inverter circuit, and includes an output coupled to an input of the first inverter circuit. The first node is coupled to a first potential node, the first transistor is coupled between the second node and a second potential node having a lower potential than a potential of the first potential node, and a second end of the first capacity component is coupled to the second node.
