摘要:
Methods of operation of a memory device and system are provided in embodiments. Initialization operations are conducted at a first frequency of operation during an initialization sequence. Memory access operations are then performed at a second frequency of operation. The second frequency of operation is higher than the first frequency of operation. Also, the memory access operations include a read operation and a write operation. In an embodiment, information that represents the first frequency of operation and the second frequency of operation is read from a serial presence detect device.

A memory device including an array of memory cells, and a register circuit to store a value representative of a period of time to elapse before the memory device is ready to receive a command when recovering from a power down mode is provided in an embodiment. The command specifies an access to the array of memory cells. A delay lock loop circuit synchronizes data transfers using an external clock signal. The delay lock loop circuit reacquires synchronization with the external clock signal during the period of time.

A dynamic random access memory device includes banks of dynamic memory cells. The device performs a refresh operation in response to receiving a self refresh command, by refreshing rows of the memory cells located in each of the banks. Further, a refresh frequency for the refresh operation is selected such that the refresh frequency is minimized to conserve power consumed by the memory device while being sufficient to refresh the rows of the memory cells.

摘要:
A method for reducing the communication overhead over the interface bus to the memory devices for refresh operations. This is done by refreshing multiple banks in response to a single command. Multibank refresh is made possible by varying the current profile for the row sense and row precharge currents during a refresh operation, as compared to normal memory access. Unlike normal memory accesses, data is not needed, and a fast access time is not required. This allows the current to be spread using different circuitry for driving the current to lessen current spikes. The spread current is still maintained within the timing of a normal memory access.
摘要:
A system comprising a storage location to store information representing a timing parameter pertaining to a random access memory device. An integrated circuit device generates a value that is representative of a period of time that elapses between the random access memory device exiting from a power down mode and a time at which the random access memory device is capable of receiving a command. The integrated circuit device generates the value from the information representing the timing parameter pertaining to the random access memory device.

A memory system includes a set of memory devices. An interconnect structure links the set of memory devices to one another. A memory controller is connected to the interconnect structure. The memory controller is configured to apply a control signal to the interconnect structure such that a specified subset of the set of memory devices performs a refresh operation.
