Semiconductor device for executing a smart refresh operation and a smart refresh method
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a memory circuit including first and second banks and configured to count the numbers of inputs of first and second active signals for executing active operations on the first and second banks to generate a counting signal and to generate first and second hammering detection signals when the numbers of inputs of the first and second active signals are equal to or greater than a set number, and an active control circuit configured to store an active address as a target address when at least one of the first and second hammering detection signals is enabled, and to execute addition and subtraction operations on the target address to output a result of the addition and subtraction operations as an internal address for at least one of the first and second banks for executing a smart refresh operation, based on the counting signal in a refresh operation.
