Double Refresh Control (DOUBLE_REFRESH_CONTROL)
This field will allow the double self refresh enable/disable.
00b = Double refresh rate when DRAM is WARM/HOT.
01b = Force double self refresh regardless of temperature.
10b = Disable double self refresh regardless of temperature.
11b = Reserved
Refresh panic WM (Refresh_panic_wm)
tREFI count level in which the refresh priority is panic (default is 9)
It is recommended to set the panic WM at least to 9, in order to
use the maximum no-refresh period possible.
Refresh high priority WM (Refresh_HP_WM)
tREFI count level that turns the refresh priority to high (default is
8)
Rank idle timer for opportunistic refresh (OREF_RI)
Rank idle period that defines an opportunity for refresh, in DCLK
cycles.
Description
9 * tREFI (tREFIx9)
Period of minimum between 9*tREFI and tRAS maximum (normally
70 us) in 1024 * DCLK cycles (default is 35) - need to reduce 100
DCLK cycles - uncertainty on timing of panic refresh.
Refresh execution time (tRFC)
Time of refresh - from beginning of refresh until next ACT or
refresh is allowed (in DCLK cycles, default is 180)
tREFI period in DCLK cycles (tREFI)
defines the average period between refreshes, and the rate that
tREFI counter is incremented (in DCLK cycles, default is 4100)
