Abstract
Methods and apparatus to provide refresh for local out of range read requests for a memory device are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein provides a read signal to a memory cell. An address is received on row address lines ranging from a most significant bit row address line to a least significant bit row address line. A fixed high logic input is coupled to a first input of a row driver logic device associated with a local out of range address. Logic is provided to send a read enable signal on a bit line coupled to an output of the row driver logic device coupled to the memory cell if the address is the local out of range address.
