Abstract

A memory device includes a memory cell array including memory cell rows, a first random number generator generating an n-bit first pseudo random bit sequence signal based on a first seed and a first degree, first and second memory cell row picking circuits, and a refresh control circuit. The first memory cell row picking circuit randomly selects a first memory cell row at a first cycle, and stores a row address of the selected first memory cell row in a first queue. The second memory cell row picking circuit randomly selects a second memory cell row at a second cycle, and stores a row address of the selected second memory cell row in a second queue. The refresh control circuit performs a refresh operation on memory cell rows physically adjacent to memory cell rows corresponding to each of the row addresses stored in the first queue and the second queue.
