Problems solved by technology

Therefore, under normal process corner or slow process corner conditions, all row addresses corresponding to a longer data retention time will be refreshed in advance, but the refresh command will be sent at a fixed time interval, and at this time it will start from row 0 Start refreshing, but during the data retention time, this part is redundant refreshing, wasting current

Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention provides a refresh circuit and a memory. The refresh circuit includes: a refresh control module for receiving and executing a refresh command to output a row address refresh signal; and for receiving a process angle signal to adjust the refresh command Execution ratio, the faster the process angle represented by the process angle signal, the higher the adjusted execution ratio; the row addresser is used to receive the row address refresh signal and output the single row address to be refreshed; array refresh The device is used for performing a single-row refresh operation according to the single-row address, and outputting a single-row refresh end signal after the single-row refresh is completed. The embodiments of the present invention are beneficial to reduce refresh current consumption.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of semiconductors, in particular to a refresh circuit and a memory. Background technique [0002] In order to save the data in the volatile memory, it is necessary to periodically refresh the volatile memory, and the refresh operation needs to complete the refreshing of all rows within the data retention time. The data retention time of the volatile memory is related to the type of chip process corner (Process Corner). The data retention time is shorter under the fast process corner condition, and the data retention time is longer under the slower process corner condition. [0003] The traditional technology will meet the standard of the fast process corner, and send refresh commands at corresponding time intervals according to the data retention time corresponding to the fast process corner, and refresh a fixed number of rows under each refresh command. Refresh all row addresses within. Th...
