Refresh Control Register
Figure 7-8 shows the Refresh Control Register. The user may read or write the REN bit at any
time to turn the Refresh Control Unit on or off. The lower nine bits contain the current nine-bit
down-counter value. The user cannot program these bits. Disabling the Refresh Control Unit
clears both the counter and the corresponding counter bits in the control register.
