A method of refreshing a semiconductor device such as a VSRAM. A memory cell array 20 of a semiconductor device 1 is divided into four blocks consisting of a block A, block B, block C, and block D. During a period in which data read or write operations is performed for one of the blocks, refreshing is performed for all the remaining blocks. A refresh cycle in a power saving state is caused to be longer than a refresh cycle in an operating state.
