SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING A PARTIAL DRAM REFRESH

摘要

A system and method for performing a partial refresh of memory cells within a memory drive. The selection of rows to be refreshed is based on an algorithm. Each selected row of memory cells is compared to an indicator chosen by a manufacturer, user, or software internal to an electrical device. Depending on this comparison, the next row to be refreshed may be, but is not limited to, a row based on the algorithm or a first row in the DRAM array.
