[0009]由此可见,本申请实施例提供了一种刷新地址产生电路,包括:刷新控制电路和地址产生器。其中,刷新控制电路依次接收多个第一刷新指令并对应进行多次第一刷新操作,当第一刷新操作的次数小于m时输出第一时钟信号,以及,当第一刷新操作的次数等于m时输出第二时钟信号,m为大于或等于1的整数。地址产生器耦接刷新控制电路,用于预存第一地址,并接收第一时钟信号或第二时钟信号,在每一次第一刷新操作期间响应于第一时钟信号输出待刷新地址,以及响应于第二时钟信号改变第一地址。待刷新地址包括第一地址或第二地址,第二地址的最低位与第一地址的最低位相反。如此,在进行第一刷新操作的过程中,地址产生器响应于第一时钟信号,既输出包括第一地址或第二地址的待刷新地址,又维持第一地址不改变;而在第一刷新操作次数等于m后,地址产生器响应于第二时钟信号,再改变第一地址。这样,既保证了刷新操作不遗漏地进行,又维持了地址的完整性。

Abstract

The embodiment of the present application discloses a refresh address generation circuit, comprising: a refresh control circuit and an address generator. Wherein, the refresh control circuit sequentially receives a plurality of first refresh instructions and correspondingly performs a plurality of first refresh operations, outputs a first clock signal when the number of first refresh operations is less than m, and outputs a second clock signal when the number of first refresh operations is equal to m, m is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The address generator is coupled to the refresh control circuit, used for pre-storing a first address, receiving the first clock signal or the second clock signal, outputting a to-be-refreshed address during each first refresh operation in response to the first clock signal, and changing the first address in response to the second clock signal. The to-be-refreshed address comprises the first address or a second address, and the least significant bit of the second address is opposite to the least significant bit of the first address. The present application can ensure that the refresh operation is carried out without omission, and the integrity of the address is maintained.
