A self-synchronizing method and apparatus for exiting dynamic random access memory from a low power state

摘要

A self-synchronizing method and apparatus for exiting a dynamic random access memory from a low power state is provided. The exit from the low power state is initiated. After the expiration of an exit delay period, a first quiet time is sent on a column-access pin. A second quiet time is sent on a row-access pins to reset the memory. The first quiet time and the second quiet time are not necessarily concurrent.
