MEMORY DEVICE WITH CIRCUITRY FOR IMPROVING ACCURACY OF A TIME ESTIMATE AND METHOD FOR USE THEREWITH

摘要

A memory device with circuitry for improving accuracy of a time estimate and a method for use therewith are disclosed. In one embodiment, a memory device receives a time stamp and measures active time with respect to the received time stamp. The memory device determines accuracy of previously-measured active time and generates a time estimate using the measured active time, the accuracy of previously-measured active time, and the received time stamp. In another embodiment, measured active time is adjusted, with or without generating a time estimate. Other embodiments are disclosed, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
