A refresh control circuit for use in a semiconductor memory device having
a plurality of banks, including: a bank number signal generator for
generating a plurality of bank number signals having a predetermined
delay time between generation timings of the plurality of bank number
signals based on a refresh signal and a reference signal; and a bank
selection unit for generating a plurality of bank selection signals in
response to the plurality of bank number signals and a piled-refresh
control signals to thereby refresh the plurality of banks.
