Various embodiments include methods that may be performed by a DRAM controller of a computing device for reducing power consumption in restore operations after a memory access. The method may control the memory charge restoration of a memory, by determining a time position within a refresh window of a read operation of at least one memory cell of the memory, charging the at least one memory cell to a first voltage that is based on the time position of the read operation within the refresh window; and re-charging the at least one memory cell to a full voltage upon termination of the refresh window, such that the first voltage is less than the full voltage in a first portion of the refresh window.
