Abstract

A timing refresh circuit refreshes a timed circuit in a functionally equivalent manner, whether the timing refresh circuit is operated at a high frequency or a low frequency. The two-stage timing refresh circuit includes a counter and combinational logic, in combination, connected between a refresh timing signal generator and a control circuit. The counter is incremented for each refresh timing signal and decremented for each refresh cycle realized by the control circuit. The combinational logic converts the counter count to a refresh signal by generating a refresh request to the control circuit whenever a count is pending in the counter.
