A memory device, system, and/or method are provided for performing a page state informing function. The memory device may compare one or more row addresses received along with a command, determine the page open/close state according to a page hit or miss generated as a result of comparison, count read or write commands with respect to pages corresponding to a same row address, and determine the page open/close state according to a read or write command number generated as a result of counting. The memory device may determine a page open/close state with respect to a corresponding page based on a page hit/miss and a read or write command number and output a flag signal. The memory device may provide the page open/close state for each channel. A memory controller may establish different page open/close policies for each channel.

Integrated circuit memory devices include an internal command generator and a memory control circuit responsive to an internal command generated by the internal command generator. The internal command generator is configured to generate an internal command in response to a combination of an independent command and at least one dependent command received in sequence by the memory device. For example, the internal command generator may be configured to require the independent command to follow the at least one dependent command in the sequence when generating the internal command from the combination of the independent and dependent commands. Alternatively, the internal command generator may be configured to require the independent command to precede the at least one dependent command in the sequence before generating the internal command from the combination of the independent and dependent commands. These independent and dependent commands may be received by the memory device as respective multi-bit external command signals.

A process-insensitive self-biasing PLL circuit and self-biasing method thereof prevent deterioration of loop stability even when there is a fabrication process variation. The self-biasing PLL circuit includes a phase frequency detector, a main charge pump circuit, an auxiliary charge pump circuit, a first operational amplifier, a second operational amplifier, a voltage-controlled oscillator, a divider, and a bias circuit. In the self-biasing PLL circuit, the first operational amplifier amplifies the voltage of a loop filter capacitor and the second operational amplifier serving as a regulator amplifies the output voltage of the first operational amplifier. The output voltage of the second operational amplifier is used as a control voltage of the voltage-controlled oscillator. Particularly, the bias circuit generates a first bias current using an NMOS transistor, generates a second bias current using a PMOS transistor, and sums up the first and second bias currents to generate a third bias current in response to the output voltage of the second operational amplifier. The first bias current is provided to the main charge pump circuit and the auxiliary charge pump circuit as their bias currents, and the third bias current is provided to the first operational amplifier as its bias current.
