Systems and methods for adjustable polling of refresh flag based on traffic to memory device

A method comprising:

• storing a traffic count indicating access operations at a memory device;
• providing, by a memory controller, a mode register read command to read a refresh flag of the memory device, wherein the mode register read command is provided according to an adjustable frequency;
• and
• setting the adjustable frequency based on the traffic count.

A method comprising:

• computing, at a memory controller, a traffic balance of at least a portion of a memory device;
• determining, at the memory controller, a frequency for performing refresh flag reads of a refresh flag of the memory device, wherein the frequency is based at least in part on the traffic balance;
• providing, by the memory device, the refresh flag based on a quantity of refresh operations performed at a memory array of the memory device;
• reading, by the memory controller, the refresh flag according to the frequency;
• and
• providing, by the memory controller and to the memory device, a refresh command when the refresh flag is at an active level.
