Abstract

See full text

A timing generating circuit generates a signal SRE defining a period in which a self-refreshing operation is carried out based on a signal extRAS and a signal extCAS. An internal voltage down-converting circuit controls the level of an internal power supply voltage intVcc to be generated in the period defined by the signal SRE lower in the self-refreshing operation than in a normal operation. As a result, a semiconductor memory device is obtained which reduces current consumption in the self-refreshing operation by simple control in an internal circuit.
