    摘要: The present invention is a random access memory device with reduced refresh current and method for use in the same. The memory device includes a memory array with a plurality of memory cells. The memory cells are configured to hold a charge. A command block is coupled to the memory bank and is configured to receive refresh commands that are used to periodically refresh the memory cells. A detection circuit is coupled to the command block and to the memory array. The detection circuit is configured to store a hit detect signal when the memory array is accessed. The detection circuit also receives the refresh command. The detections circuit enables block select signals only when the hit detect signal is stored while the refresh command is received.

    摘要: An apparatus for selecting banks in a semiconductor memory device provides a half-chip by adjusting all bits including the most significant bit (MSB) of bank addresses to select normal banks even if degraded banks are included in both upper and lower bank blocks. In a memory including an upper bank block and a lower bank block which are constructed with a plurality of banks selectable by a plurality of bank addresses, an apparatus for selecting the banks includes a plurality of bank address control parts each corresponding to one address bit of the bank addresses, each of the bank address control part applying a fixed logic value to the upper and lower bank blocks according to a selective cutting of at least one of the fuses, and each of the bank address control parts applying either a corresponding bank address bit input thereto or a bank address bit just below the corresponding bank address bit to the upper and lower bank blocks.
