Abstract

A semiconductor configuration is described and has a temperature sensor, which measures a temperature of a semiconductor module. The measured temperature is provided to a control unit, so that the control unit can adapt a refresh cycle in the semiconductor module to the retention time corresponding to the measured temperature.
