Abstract
A DLL power supply of the integrated circuit memory device supplies power to the DLL circuit, and a control signal generator controls the DLL power supply to selectively supply power to the DLL circuit during a refresh mode of the integrated circuit memory device based on a selection signal.
Claims28
An integrated circuit memory device, comprising:
- a delay locked loop (DLL) circuit;
- a DLL power supply supplying power to the DLL circuit;
- and
- a control signal generator controlling the DLL power supply to selectively supply power to the DLL circuit during a refresh mode of the integrated circuit memory device based on a selection signal.
1 more element
A method of controlling a delay lock loop (DLL) circuit of an integrated circuit memory device, comprising:
- controlling a DLL power supply to selectively supply power to the DLL circuit during a refresh mode of the integrated circuit memory device.
An integrated circuit memory device, comprising:
- a delay locked loop (DLL) circuit receives an external clock signal and generates an internal clock signal;
- wherein the DLL circuit is turned on during a first refresh operation and is turned off during a second refresh operation.
An integrated circuit memory device, comprising:
- a delay locked loop (DLL) circuit, the DLL circuit generates a first clock signal based on a reference clock signal and locking information, the locking information being information on a phase relationship between the first clock signal and the reference clock signal;
- and
- a control signal generator controlling the DLL circuit to selectively reset the locking information during a refresh mode of the integrated circuit memory device based on a selection signal.
