A plurality of first memory blocks and a second memory block for reproducing data of the first memory blocks are formed. When a read command and a refresh command conflict with each other, a read control circuit accesses the first memory block according to the refresh command and reproduces read data by using the second memory block. When a write command and the refresh command conflict with each other, a write control circuit operates the memory block according to an order of command reception. Therefore, it is possible to perform refresh operation without being recognized by users. Namely, a user-friendly semiconductor memory can be provided.

A redundancy memory circuit stores a defect address indicating a defective memory cell row. A redundancy control circuit disables the defective memory cell row corresponding to the defect address stored in the redundancy memory circuit and enables a redundancy memory cell row in the memory block containing the defective memory cell row. Moreover, in the other memory blocks, the redundancy control circuit disables memory cell rows corresponding to the defective memory cell row and enables redundancy memory cell rows instead of these memory cell rows. Consequently, not only the memory block having the defective memory cell row but one of the memory cell rows in the other memory blocks is always also relieved. Thus, the redundancy memory circuit can be shared among all the memory blocks with a reduction in the number of redundancy memory circuits. As a result, the semiconductor memory can be reduced in chip size.

An internal address generating circuit sequentially generates internal addresses in the burst read operation, with an external address being set as an initial value. A memory core has plural memory cells and sequentially outputs, in response to activation of a column selection signal, data read from the memory cells corresponding to the internal addresses in the burst read operation. In the burst read operation, a column control circuit in a memory core control circuit repeats activation of the column selection signal for a certain period during an activation period of an external control signal and forcibly deactivates the column selection signal in synchronization with deactivation of the external control signal. In the burst read operation, an operation state control circuit in the memory core control circuit deactivates an operation state control signal after a predetermined time has elapsed from the deactivation of the external control signal.
