ABSTRACT:
A memory controller and a semiconductor device comprising the same are provided. The semiconductor device comprises a memory block comprising a plurality of memory banks and a memory controller. The memory controller outputs an auto refresh command and memory bank information indicating a memory bank that is to be auto refreshed in an auto refresh mode. Thus, only the selected memory bank performs an auto refresh operation in the auto refresh mode while reducing current consumption in the semiconductor device.
