Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling bank of a semiconductor memory includes a plurality of banks, a peripheral circuit unit that generates and outputs a bank selection signal and a first address, and a bank controller that generates a second address obtained by correcting the first address to match a bank control timing and outputs the generated second address to a bank corresponding to the bank selection signal among the plurality of banks. Since it is easy to ensure a timing margin, it is possible to completely prevent an address generation error, minimize a layout area, and reduce current consumption.
