Abstract
A memory module includes a number of memory devices which receive refresh commands. Each memory device determines if it is that device's turn in a sequence, for example by counting the refresh commands. When it is not a device's turn, it performs refresh operations at a first rate responsive to the refresh commands. When it is the device's turn, it performs refresh operations at a second, lower, rate responsive to the refresh commands, for example by skipping refresh operations.
