In one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device receives a refresh command and address information, and supplies a refresh control signal and the address information in common to core chips. Each of the core chips includes a layer-address comparison circuit that determines whether the address information assigns an own core chip, and a refresh control circuit that refreshes an own memory cell based on the refresh control signal when the address information assigns the own core chip. With this arrangement, a memory capacity of a chip that is refreshed by a refresh command for one time is reduced, and therefore a shortest issuing interval of a refresh command can be shortened. |
