A semiconductor memory device includes a command decoder configured to generate an auto-sync signal in response to a command for writing data at a memory cell or reading data from a memory cell, and an internal data clock generating circuit configured to phase synchronize a second clock, having a clock frequency higher than a clock frequency of a first clock, with the first clock in response to the auto-sync signal.

Semiconductor memory device having clock generation scheme based on command

A clock pattern generating method of a semiconductor memory device is provided. The method includes generating the same clock pattern through a plurality of detection clock output pins when an output selection control signal is in a first state and generating clock patterns different from each other through the plurality of detection clock output pins when the output selection control signal is in a second state different from the first state.

Semiconductor memory device and detection clock pattern generating method thereof

An electronic device includes a memory device including a power switch configured to provide one of a first voltage and a second voltage to an internal circuit in response to a control command. A power management device is configured to generate the first voltage, the second voltage, and the control command and to provide the first voltage, the second voltage, and the control command to the memory device. The power switch provides the second voltage to the internal circuit while a level of the first voltage is changed and provides the first voltage to the internal circuit after a level change of the first voltage is completed.

Power management of a memory device by dynamically changing supply voltage

A method of operating a memory controller, memory devices including a master memory device and slave memory devices, a back channel bus coupling the master memory device to the slave memory devices and a channel coupling the memory controller to the memory devices is provided as follows. A memory command is received by the memory devices from the memory controller. An internal command is generated and outputted by the master memory device. The internal command is received by the slave memory devices. The internal command is transmitted to the slave memory devices through the back channel bus.

Semiconductor memory device for sharing inter-memory command and information, memory system including the same and method of operating the memory system

Semiconductor memory device having detection clock patterns phase-inverted from each other and detection clock generating method thereof

A method of operating a semiconductor memory device is provided as follows. The semiconductor memory device receive a bank address for a first bank including a first word line, a second word line and a third word line. The semiconductor memory device receive a first row address to activate the first world line for a read operation or a write operation. The semiconductor memory device generates a second row address to refresh a plurality of memory cells associated with the second word line.
