Abstract:
A memory device includes a plurality of memory blocks; an address counter suitable for generating a counted address which is used for a normal refresh operation and changed when all the memory blocks are refreshed; a target address generator suitable for generating a target address used for a target refresh operation, wherein the target address corresponds to an address of a word line to be additionally refreshed in the memory blocks; and a refresh controller suitable for controlling the memory blocks to be refreshed at different times during a first normal refresh operation, controlling a memory block among the memory blocks, which is first refreshed in the first normal refresh operation, to be refreshed through the target refresh operation, and controlling the memory block, which is first refreshed in the first normal refresh operation, to be refreshed last during a second normal refresh operation, based on the refresh command.
