Abstract
To include a plurality of core chips to which different pieces of chip information from each other are given in advance. A first refresh command is divided into a plurality of second refresh commands having different timings from each other, and a refresh operation is performed on a core chip for which a count value of the second refresh commands and at least a portion of the chip information match each other. With this configuration, even when the second refresh command is commonly supplied to a plurality of core chips, it is possible to shift a timing for the refresh operation in each of the core chips. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a peak current at the time of the refresh operation.
