Claims
- 1. A method of generating an initializing signal for initializing an inner circuit in a semiconductor memory device, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) receiving a mode set command for initializing the inner circuit; and (b) generating a control signal in response to the received mode set command and using the control signal as the initializing signal.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the mode set command is a signal applied to the semiconductor memory device via an external pin.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the mode set command is a mode register set (MRS) command in a synchronous dynamic random access memory (DRAM).
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the mode set command is a Write Column address strobe (CAS) Before Row address strobe (RAS) (WCBR) in an asynchronous dynamic random access memory (DRAM).
- 5. A method of generating an initializing signal for initializing an inner circuit in a semiconductor memory device, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) receiving a precharge command for precharging the semiconductor memory device; (b) receiving a mode set command for initializing the inner circuit after receipt of the precharge command; and (c) generating a control signal in response to the received mode set command, and using the control signal as the initializing signal.
- 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the mode set command is a signal applied to the semiconductor memory device via an external pin.
- 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the mode set command is a mode register set (MRS) command in a synchronous dynamic random access memory (DRAM).
- 8. The method of claim 5, wherein the mode set command is a Write Column address strobe (CAS) Before Row address strobe (RAS) (WCBR) in an asynchronous dynamic random access memory (DRAM).
