ABSTRACT:
An initializing circuit activates a self-refresh control signal generating circuit in response to power-on. The semiconductor memory device enters a self-refresh mode immediately after the power-on, and an RAS-related control circuit is in the initial state immediately after the power-on regardless of the logical state of external row address strobe signal /RAS, so that the current consumption can be nearly equal to a standby current.
