Auto-refresh operation control circuit for reducing current consumption of semiconductor memory apparatus
Abstract:
An auto-refresh operation control circuit for a semiconductor memory apparatus is activated according to a bank active signal for executing a refresh operation and terminates the refresh operation by receiving a precharge signal. The auto-refresh operation control circuit is configured to prevent an over-driving operation during an auto-refresh operation and to delay the enablement of the precharge signal. The auto-refresh operation control circuit also delays the enablement of the precharge signal during the auto-refresh operation more than a delay of the precharge signal during a self-refresh operation.
