Provided is a semiconductor memory device for controlling a refresh operation of redundancy memory cells. The semiconductor memory device may include normal memory cells and redundancy memory cells that are used to repair normal memory cell(s) to which a defective cell is connected, and an error-correction code (ECC) memory cell row that stores parity bits for controlling the defective cell. Memory cells on the normal memory cell rows are refreshed during a first refresh cycle. Other memory cells on, such as redundancy memory cell rows, an edge memory cell row that is adjacent to the redundancy memory cell row(s) from among the normal memory cell rows, and/or the ECC memory cell row may be refreshed during a second refresh cycle that is different from the first refresh cycle.

Provided are a DLL circuit having a coarse lock time adaptive to a frequency band of an external clock signal and a semiconductor memory device having the DLL circuit. The DLL circuit includes a delay circuit, a replica circuit, and a phase detector. The phase detector generates a first comparison signal used by the delay circuit to delay an external clock signal in units of a first cell delay time or a second comparison signal used by the delay circuit to delay the external clock signal in units of a second cell delay time. The DLL circuit delays the external clock signal by the cell delay time adaptive to the frequency band of the external clock signal, and thus can perform an accurate and rapid coarse lock operation for the entire frequency band.
