A multipath accessible semiconductor memory device provides an interface function between processors. The memory device may include a memory cell array having a shared memory area operationally coupled to two or more ports that are independently accessible by two or more processors, an access path forming unit to form a data access path between one of the ports and the shared memory area in response to external signals applied by the processors, and an interface unit having a semaphore area and mailbox areas accessible in the shared memory area by the two or more processors to provide an interface function for communication between the two or more processors.

A memory system and related method of operation are disclosed. The memory system includes a memory configured to generate a data strobe signal including “(n/2)+1” clock signals, where “n” is a number of base data blocks in read data synchronously transferred by the memory during a read operation, and a memory controller configured to receive the read data, receive the data strobe signal, delay the data strobe signal to generate a delayed data strobe signal, and synchronously output “n/2” sampled data blocks to a requesting device in relation to the delayed data strobe signal.

A semiconductor memory device for use in a multiprocessor system may be provided. A chip size may be controlled, and a design of circuit may be relatively simplified. The semiconductor memory device for use in a multiprocessor system may include at least two shared memory areas commonly accessible by processors of the multiprocessor system through different ports and assigned with a predetermined memory capacity unit to a portion of a memory cell array, a single shared register adapted outside the memory cell array, corresponding to disable areas formed within the shared memory areas, and/or a switching unit for connecting a decoder of a selected shared memory area to the shared register in response to an applied control signal, to match the shared register to the disable area of the selected shared memory area. A shared register may be commonly used in corresponding to a plurality of shared memory areas, thereby reducing or preventing a chip size increase and simplifying a design of the circuit.

A semiconductor memory device for use in a multiprocessor system includes a shared memory area and a reset signal generator. The shared memory area is accessible by the processors of the multiprocessor system through different ports, and is assigned to a portion of a memory cell array. The reset signal generator is configured to provide a reset enable signal to a processor, predetermined as a slave processor among the multiple processors, for a predetermined time after an initial booting of the multiprocessor system. The reset signal generator also provides a reset disable signal to the slave processor after the predetermined time lapses.

A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a storage part storing an address for weak cells in a nonvolatile state; and a dynamic semiconductor memory device including: a memory cell array having normal cells and the weak cells to be refreshed; and a refresh control part performing a refresh operation for the weak cells, wherein a refresh period for the weak cells is shorter than a refresh period for the normal cells when the address applied in a refresh operation mode coincides with the address stored in the storage part.
