A self refresh period signal generator includes: a voltage detection unit
for detecting a voltage level of a power supply voltage in order to
generate a plurality of period control signals according to the detected
voltage level; and an oscillation unit for generating a ring oscillation
signal having a constant period determined by a resistance of a period
control resistor when a self refresh signal is activated, wherein the
resistance of the period control resistor is controlled according to
logic levels of the plurality of period control signals.
