Concurrently communicating refresh and read/write commands with a memory device

摘要

Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, computer-readable media, mechanisms, and means for communicating with a memory device, such as by a memory controller, a refresh command at least partially overlapping in time with a read and/or write command. The refresh command typically specifies a group of locations (e.g., a bank) for being at least partially refreshed.
