Abstract
A synchronous random access memory, such as a synchronous dynamic random access memory or a synchronous graphic random access memory, is responsive to command signals and includes multiple bank memory arrays. A command decoder/controller responds to command signals to initiate, in a first system clock cycle, an auto-refresh command controlling an auto refresh operation to a specified one of the multiple bank memory arrays.
