Abstract:
A memory controller transmits one or more command pairs of a self-refresh entry command and a subsequent self-refresh exit command to a semiconductor memory device during a refresh period. The semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cell rows each including a plurality of dynamic memory cells, and a refresh control circuit. The refresh control circuit performs a refresh operation on all of the memory cell rows during the refresh period in a self-refresh mode, the self-refresh mode of the refresh period being configured in response to each self-refresh entry command of the one or more command pairs, for each of the one or more command pairs, the memory controller sequentially transmits during the refresh period at least one self-refresh entry command and at least one self-refresh exit command to the semiconductor memory device separated by one or more time gaps.

Claim (Index 17):
The memory system of  claim 16 , wherein the memory controller comprises:\n a command generator configured to generate the at least one self-refresh entry command and the at least one self-refresh exit command sequentially by the one or more time gaps; a timer configured to receive the self-refresh entry command and provide a timing signal to the command generator when each of one or more time gaps is elapsed from receiving the self-refresh entry command; a scheduler configured to schedule commands from the command generator, the commands including the at least one self-refresh entry command and the at least one self-refresh exit command; and a control circuit configured to control the timer, the command generator and the scheduler, wherein the scheduler is configured to schedule the commands such that valid commands are not inserted between a self-refresh entry command and a subsequent self-refresh exit command.
