Abstract
A memory device includes plural banks that perform a per-bank refresh (PBR) operation, and an address register that provides a single row address signal to two banks of the plural banks, the two banks simultaneously performing the PBR operation and the single row address signal being shared by the two banks. The two banks activate a word line of each memory cell array based on a single decoded row address signal that is generated based on the single row address signal.
