Abstract

In a static column dynamic random access memory device in which memory operations including refresh operation are initiated responsive to a row address strobe signal, and the refresh operation for amplification and rewriting of information of the selected memory cell is not interrupted until its completion once it is started by the application of the row address strobe signal even if the row address strobe signal is thereafter removed; a timing circuit provides clocks for controlling the row circuits and the column circuit to cause termination of the memory operations if the row address strobe signal has been removed before the end of the refresh operation, and to cause continuation of the read/write memory operations if the row address strobe signal is still applied at the end of the refresh operation.
