  • Patent number: 9653145
    Abstract: A semiconductor system includes a first semiconductor device and a second semiconductor device. The first semiconductor device outputs first to (M+1)th command/address signals (wherein, “M” denotes a natural number which is equal to or greater than two) and receives a detection signal to detect a normality/abnormality of a temperature sensor. The second semiconductor device enters a test mode in response to the (M+1)th command/address signal and compare first to Nth sensing codes (wherein, “N” denotes a natural number which is equal to or greater than two) generated by the temperature sensor with the first to Mth command/address signals to generate the detection signal. The second semiconductor device also executes a refresh operation in response to a refresh signal including a plurality of pulses whose cycle time is controlled by the first to Mth command/address signals.
