Original Abstract Submitted
a memory system with adaptive refresh commands is disclosed. in one aspect, a memory system or device that has multiple banks within a channel may receive a per bank command that indicates a first bank to be refreshed and provides additional information about a second bank to be refreshed. in a further exemplary aspect, a quad bank refresh command may be sent that indicates a first bank to be refreshed and provides additional information about second through fourth banks to be refreshed. in a further exemplary aspect, an octa bank refresh command may be sent that indicates a first bank to be refreshed and provides additional information about second through eighth banks to be refreshed. the three new refresh commands allow adjacent or spaced banks to be refreshed.
