Abstract
A method and apparatus for restoring a memory device channel when exiting a low power state. One method involves storing a set of memory initialization values from storage locations in a memory controller into a memory that maintains values during a power down state. The values may be necessary to access a system memory. When the power down state is exited, the values are restored to the storage locations in the memory controller.
