The internal flag signal generator generates a plurality of internal flag signals which are selectively enabled when combination signals of bank address signals and row address signals supplied are inputted from an external device at least a predetermined number of times. The active information generator outputs a flag signal enabled when at least one of the plurality of internal flag signals is enabled in response to a start signal for extracting information on a number of times that a word line is activated and outputs a plurality of bank information signals according to the plurality of internal flag signals. The active information generator generates internal bank address signals and internal row address signals according to the plurality of internal flag signals to refresh a bank.
