Apparatuses systems and methods for self-refresh rate control

Abstract

A memory device performs self-refresh operations during a self-refresh mode. The self-refresh operations are performed at a rate. The memory includes a self-refresh rate adjustment circuit which reduces the rate of the self-refresh operation if certain conditions are met. In an example, the self-refresh rate may be reduced if a temperature rises above a threshold. In an example, the self-refresh rate may be reduced if a system voltage falls below a reference voltage.
