Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a memory core unit including a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells and a sense amplifier to sense and amplify data of the plurality of memory cells, and a self refresh control unit to apply at least one first core voltage to the memory core unit and to control a self refresh operation to be performed at every first self refresh cycle, in a first self refresh mode, and to apply at least one second core voltage to the memory core unit and to control the self refresh operation to be performed at every second self refresh cycle, in a second self refresh mode. In the semiconductor memory, a level of the at least one first core voltage is higher than that of a corresponding one of the at least one second core voltage, and the first self refresh cycle is shorter than the second self refresh cycle.
