In a semiconductor device, an internally-generated power supply voltage VPP is monitored. If the internally-generated power supply voltage VPP is lower than a lower limit voltage, serial refresh is selected as a double refresh operation mode. In the serial refresh, double refresh for a pair address is inserted in a next refresh cycle. By the serial refresh, decrease of the internally-generated power supply voltage VPP is suppressed.
