Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes a cell array that includes a plurality of DRAM cells to store data, and refresh control logic that refreshes the plurality of DRAM cells depending on access scenario information provided from an outside. The refresh control logic determines a refresh time of the plurality of DRAM cells with reference to the access scenario information and a retention characteristic of the plurality of DRAM cells and refreshes the plurality of DRAM cells depending on the determined refresh time.
