Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for techniques to refresh memory systems operating in low power states are described. The memory system may operate in a first power mode that includes deactivation of a voltage rail that supplies power to the memory system. The memory system may receive the power over the voltage rail during a time period that the memory system is operating in the first power mode. In some cases, the memory system may determine that the power may be received for a duration and a command is not received during that duration. The memory system may perform a self-refresh operation based on determining that the duration indicated by the timer expires without receiving a command.
