Abstract
In a method of refreshing in a memory device having a plurality of pages, a candidate refresh address corresponding to a page scheduled to be refreshed after a monitoring period is generated. Whether an active command is processed for the candidate refresh address is monitored during the monitoring period. If an active command is processed for the candidate refresh address during the monitoring period, the scheduled refresh for that page is skipped. If no active command is processed for the candidate refresh address during the monitoring period, the scheduled refresh operation is performed.
