Abstract
PURPOSE:To improve the utilization factor of access by providing on a chip a capacitor, the capacity of which is greater than that of a capacitor in a memory cell, to detect the charge condition of the memory cell, and carrying out a refreshing operation in accordance with the charge condition of the memory cell. CONSTITUTION:A memory cell 11 having the same structure as a memory cell 10 is provided on the same chip. The capacity of a capacitor 5 is set to a small level. The cell 11 is refreshed by a sensor amplifier (S/A)8n+1 simultaneously with the cell 10 for matrix. The charge condition after refresh has been carried out is detected 12. When the charge condition is lower than a predetermined level, a refresh demand signal is output. The capacity Cref of a capacitor in the cell 11 is set to Cref<Ccel/m.1/k when the capacity Ccel of the capacitor in the cell 10, the number of line (m) and attenuation constant (k) are greater than one. The refresh cycle is determined by only variations in charge condition of the cell 11 irrespective of the condition of each cell 10 for matrix so that a necessary and sufficient interval can be provided. The interval can be extended several ten times that is a conventional IC. Accordingly, the utilization factor of access can be improved to a great extent.
