Abstract:
Memory controllers, devices, modules, systems and associated methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a memory controller is disclosed. The memory controller includes write queue logic that has first storage to temporarily store signal components of a write operation. The signal components include an address and write data. A transfer interface issues the signal components of the write operation to a bank of a storage class memory (SCM) device and generates a time value. The time value represents a minimum time interval after which a subsequent write operation can be issued to the bank. The write queue logic includes an issue queue to store the address and the time value for a duration corresponding to the time value.
