A semiconductor memory device includes: a temperature information output
unit for measuring an internal temperature of the semiconductor memory
device, and generating a plurality of flag signals, each voltage level of
which varies according to the measured internal temperature; a
self-refresh oscillation unit for providing a self-refresh period
corresponding to the measured internal temperature in response to the
plurality of flag signals; and a temperature information control unit for
determining a measuring period of the temperature information output unit
in response to a temperature sensing enable signal and the plurality of
flag signals.
