Abstract
One or more blocks of dynamic random access memory are embedded together with a processor and a data bus on an integrated circuit. The data bus has a bandwidth b for general operation including memory access, the block of dynamic random access memory further requiring data refresh at a refresh rate r. The block thus forms an eDRAM on the integrated circuit, typically an ASIC. A refresh controller embedded with the eDRAM may control refresh by clocking the data bus at a rate higher than the rate of the data bus to accommodate both the required memory access and the required data refresh.
