A mobile System on Chip (SoC) comprises a microprocessor and a first memory controller configured to control a refresh of a first memory. A temperature sensor detects a temperature in the first memory. When first temperature information received from the temperature sensor indicates that the detected temperature deviates from a predetermined temperature range, the first memory controller controls the first memory so as not to perform a self refresh. When second temperature information received from the temperature sensor indicates that the detected temperature is in the predetermined temperature range, the first memory controller outputs a self refresh command to the first memory.

State change transition times of a semiconductor memory device is reduced by reducing contact resistance associated with unshared input/output (I/O) lines. To minimize the difference in transition times between shared I/O lines having dual precharging circuits and non-shared I/O lines which have only a single precharging circuit, effective contact resistance of the non-shared I/O lines are reduced by eliminating unnecessary isolation gates with their attendant impedances. This provides faster transition times for the non-shared I/O lines.
