Abstract
A memory system includes a memory device and a memory controller. The memory device includes at least one data storage area. The memory controller is coupled to the memory device and configured to transmit at least one command, scheduled to be transmitted within a preset clock range, to the memory device. The memory controller is configured to transmit an activation command included in the at least one command to the memory device when a command to be transmitted subsequent to the activation command is not a data input and output (input/output) command.
Claims20
A memory system, comprising:
- a memory device including at least one data storage area;
- and
- a memory controller coupled to the memory device and configured to transmit at least one command, scheduled to be transmitted within a preset clock range, to the memory device,
- wherein the memory controller is configured to transmit an activation command included in the at least one command to the memory device when a command to be transmitted subsequent to the activation command is not a data input and output (input/output) command.
A method for operating a memory system, comprising:
- determining at least one command scheduled to be transmitted within a preset clock range to a memory device comprising at least one data storage area;
- and
- transmitting, to the memory device, an activation command included in the at least one command when a command to be transmitted subsequent to the activation command is not a data input and output (input/output) command.
A command scheduler coupled to a memory device comprising at least one data storage area, wherein the command scheduler is configured to determine a transmission timing of at least one command scheduled to be transmitted within a preset clock range, wherein the command scheduler is configured to transmit an activation command included in the at least one command to the memory device when a command transmitted following the activation command is not a data input and output (input/output) command.
