Abstract:
A memory refresh method includes selecting at least one bank from among N banks of a memory device, and activating K word lines from among a plurality of word lines included in the at least one bank during one of L refresh cycles of a refresh period. Each of the N banks comprises M word lines, N, K and M are each a natural number greater than or equal to two, L is a natural number less than or equal to M, and K is equal to M*N/L.

Abstract:
A method of repairing a word line of a memory device includes receiving a row address, comparing a received row address with a row address of a defective cell, enabling a normal word line and a redundant word line, which correspond to the row address, according to a result of the row address comparison, receiving a column address, comparing a received column address with a column address of the defective cell, and performing a memory access operation on one of the normal word line and the redundant word line according to a result of the column address comparison.
Abstract:
According to some embodiments, for a memory device including a base die and a stack of memory dies including a plurality of memory dies stacked on the base die, the base die including a plurality of first input/output (i/o) terminals that are command/address and data terminals and a plurality of second i/o terminals that are direct access terminals, a method includes receiving at the plurality of first i/o terminals a command/address, a clock signal, and data; first transmitting the command/address, clock signal, and data received by the plurality of first i/o terminals from the base die to the stack of memory dies; and second transmitting at least part of one or more of the command/address, clock signal, and data received by a set of the plurality of first i/o terminals through a circuit of the base die to the plurality of second i/o terminals.
