Semiconductor memory device for controlling operation of delay-locked loop circuit
A semiconductor memory device for controlling an operation of a delay-locked loop (DLL) circuit includes a DLL circuit that receives an external clock signal and that performs a locking operation on the external clock signal and an internal clock signal, thereby obtaining a locked state. A control unit controls the DLL circuit to constantly maintain the locked state during an updating period of an auto-refresh period of an auto-refresh operation for refreshing memory banks.
