Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR STORAGE DEVICE AND SYSTEM PROVIDED WITH SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/142254
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To regenerate the charge of a memory cell having reduced information retention characteristics using a target row refresh operation. [Solution] A semiconductor storage device is provided with a memory cell array (11) comprising a plurality of word lines including word lines (WLI, WL2) that are adjacent to one another; and a TRR address conversion unit (53) that selects the word line (WL1) in response to the input of an address signal (IADD) indicating a first value while in a first operation mode and selects the word line (WL2) in response to the input of an address signal indicating a first value while in a target row refresh mode. Due to the fact that address conversion is performed on the semiconductor storage device side in the present invention, it is sufficient for a control device to output, for example, the address of a word line having a high access count to the semiconductor storage device during a target row refresh operation. As a result, control of the target row refresh operation on the control device side is facilitated.
