ABSTRACT:
A dynamic type semiconductor memory device includes a CBR detecting circuit for detecting a timing condition of /CAS before /RAS, an RS flip-flop which is set depending on an output of the CBR detecting circuit, a pulse generating circuit which is activated in response to an output of the RS flip-flop and generates a one-shot pulse in response to the fall of the external row address strobe signal /RAS, a delay circuit which delays an output of the pulse generating circuit by a predetermined time period, an RS flip-flop which is set by an output of the delay circuit and is reset by the row address strobe signal /RAS, and a NOR circuit which receives outputs of the RS flip-flops, the row address strobe signal /RAS and the column address strobe signal /CAS and generates an internal CAS signal .phi.CAS. In the dynamic type semiconductor memory device, which has a function of checking a refreshing counter for generating a refresh address and is operable in a self-refreshing mode, restriction on a timing condition of an external column address strobe signal /CAS is mitigated in the self-refreshing operation.
