Abstract:
Embedded refresh controllers included in memory devices and memory devices including the embedded refresh controllers are provided. The embedded refresh controllers may include a refresh counter and an address generator. The refresh counter may generate a counter refresh address signal in response to a counter refresh signal such that the counter refresh address signal may represent a sequentially changing address. The address generator may store information with respect to a hammer address that is accessed intensively and may generates a hammer refresh address signal in response to a hammer refresh signal such that the hammer refresh address signal may represent an address of a row that is physically adjacent to a row of the hammer address. Loss of cell data may be reduced and performance of the memory device may be enhanced by detecting the intensively-accessed hammer address and performing the refresh operation based on the detected hammer address efficiently.

Abstract:
A refresh controller of a memory device may include a timing controller, a refresh counter and an address generator. The timing controller generates a counter refresh signal in response to receiving a refresh command provided from an external device, and generates a hammer refresh signal that is activated periodically. The refresh counter generates a counter refresh address signal in response to the counter refresh signal, such that the counter refresh address signal represents a row address, the refresh counter being configured sequentially change the counter refresh address signal. The address generator generates a hammer refresh address signal in response to the hammer refresh signal, the hammer refresh address signal representing an address of a row of the memory device that is physically adjacent to a row of the memory device corresponding to a hammer address that is accessed intensively.

A packaged light emitting device can include a mounting substrate including first and second electrode portions that are separated by a recess defined by a first side surface of the first electrode portion and a second side surface of the second electrode portion that is opposite the first side surface. An insulation support member can partially fill a lower portion of the recess to partially cover the first side surface and partially cover the second side surface. A light emitting device can be coupled to the first and second electrode portions of the mounting substrate and a sealing member can be on the mounting substrate covering the light emitting device.
Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array and a first buffer. The memory cell array includes a plurality of bank arrays. Each of the plurality of bank arrays includes a plurality of memory cells. The memory cell array and the first buffer are configured for performing a first internal read operation, which represents operations of retrieving first data from a first region of the memory cell array and of storing the first data into the first buffer, based on a first read command and a first read address. The first internal read operation is performed based on a deterministic interface in which the first data is stored into the first buffer within a predetermined first duration after the first read command is received and a generation of a first acknowledgement signal is unnecessary after storing the first data into the first buffer is completed.
