A memory device comprises a memory cell array and a bad page map. The memory cell array comprises a plurality of memory cells arranged in pages and columns, wherein the memory cell array is divided into a first memory block and a second memory block each corresponding to an array of the memory cells. The bad page map stores bad page location information indicating whether each of the pages of the first memory block is good or bad. A fail page address of the first memory block is replaced by a pass page address of the second memory block according to the bad page location information.

A refresh address is generated with a refresh period for refreshing a memory device with refresh leveraging. A respective refresh is performed on a weak cell having a first address when the refresh address is a second address instead of on a first strong cell having the second address. A respective refresh is performed on one of the first strong cell or a second strong cell having a third address when the refresh address is the third address. Address information is stored for only one of the first, second, and third addresses such that memory capacity may be reduced. In alternative aspects, a respective refresh is performed on one of a weak cell, a first strong cell, or a second strong cell depending on a flag when the refresh address is any of at least one predetermined address to result in refresh leveraging.

In an embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a clock latency that can be controlled responsive to whether or not an output order of burst data is reordered. The semiconductor memory device may comprise a control unit and a latency control unit. The control unit may generate a latency control signal having a logic level that varies depending on whether or not an output order of burst data is reordered. The latency control unit may control a latency value in response to the latency control signal. The semiconductor memory device and the method of controlling the latency value responsive to a reordering of the burst data allow for an optimally fast memory access time.

A memory system and memory module includes a plurality of memory devices, each having a plurality, e.g. four, ports for transmitting and receiving command signals, write data signals and read data signals. One of the memory devices is connected to a host or controller, and the remaining memories are connected together, typically by point-to-point links. When the memory system configuration is such that at least one of the ports in at least one of the memory devices is not used, one or more other ports can use the pins that may otherwise have been used by the unused ports. As a result, a set of reconfigurable, shared pins is defined in which two ports share the pins. The port that is not being used in a particular application for the memory device is not connected to the shared pins, and another port that is being used in the application is connected to the shared pins. This allows for the used of fewer package pins and, consequently, reduced package size.

A memory system selectively sets signaling modes based on stack position information. The memory system includes a memory module having at least one semiconductor memory device and a memory controller configured to set a signaling mode based on stack position information of each of the semiconductor memory devices. A signaling between the memory controller and each of the semiconductor memory devices is performed in a differential signaling mode, and a signaling among the semiconductor memory devices is performed in a single-ended signaling mode. Accordingly, the memory system has reduced power consumption.

A memory controller controlling a plurality of semiconductor memory devices includes a refresh control circuit controlling refresh operations of the semiconductor memory devices. The refresh control circuit classifies the semiconductor memory devices into first and second groups and sets an auto refresh interval of the semiconductor memory devices belong to the first group and an auto refresh interval of the semiconductor memory devices belong to the second group different from each other.

A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of memory regions formed on one chip, each of the memory regions having a plurality of volatile memory cells that are formed with a density or capacity of 2^K bits, where K is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and a plurality of input/output (I/O) terminals for inputting and outputting data of the volatile memory cells, and at least one peripheral region that controls a write operation for writing data into the memory regions and a read operation for reading data from the memory regions based on a command and an address input from outside. Thus, a total or entire density of the memory regions corresponds to a non-standard (or ‘interim’) density so that the semiconductor memory device may have an interim density.

A memory system includes a controller for generating a control signal and a primary memory for receiving the control signal from the controller. A secondary memory is coupled to the primary memory, the secondary memory being adapted to receive the control signal from the primary memory. The control signal defines a background operation to be performed by one of the primary and secondary memories and a foreground operation to be performed by the other of the primary and secondary memories. The primary memory and the secondary memory are connected by a point-to-point link. At least one of the links between the primary and secondary memories can be an at least partially serialized link. At least one of the primary and secondary memories can include an on-board internal cache memory.
