Abstract

A memory device may enforce compliance with a refresh command requirement in some examples. When a controller fails to comply with the refresh command requirement, the memory device may prevent the controller from accessing a memory array. The controller may regain access by providing one or more commands, such as a refresh command. In some examples, the memory may enforce compliance with a refresh command requirement responsive to a value written to the mode register. In some examples, the memory may enforce compliance with the refresh command requirement after an initialization operation has completed.
