A semiconductor memory device includes an SRAM provided on a chip, the SRAM including an SRAM cell array. A DRAM is provided on the chip, the DRAM including a DRAM cell array. An address input circuit receives an address signal, the address signal having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion carrying a unique value of row-column address information provided to access one of memory locations in one of the SRAM and DRAM cell arrays, the second portion carrying a unique value of SRAM/DRAM address information provided to select one of the SRAM and the DRAM.

Semiconductor memory device having a refresh operation

A memory circuit including a memory cell array. The memory cell array has a first word line group connected to a pair of memory cells associated with a first bit line pair including first and third bit lines, and a second word line group, connected to a pair of memory cells associated with a second bit line pair including second and fourth bit lines. First and second sense amplifier groups are positioned one on each side of the memory array, and are connected to the first and second bit line pair, respectively. When any word line of the first word line group is driven, the first sense amplifier group is activated to drive the first word line group in reverse phase, and the second sense amplifier group is kept in the inactive state to keep the second word line group at the precharge level.
