Claim 15:
16. A host device comprising:
an interface; and
control circuitry coupled to the interface, the control circuitry configured to:
receive memory-device refresh-timing information from a memory device in response to the host device issuing a first command to the memory device, the memory-device refresh-timing information indicating at least a first amount of time that remains before the memory device is scheduled to undergo a next self-refresh operation;
determine a refresh-command schedule for the memory device based at least in part on the memory-device refresh-timing information;
determine host-device refresh-timing information based at least in part on the refresh-command schedule, the host-device refresh-timing information indicating at least a second amount of time that remains before the host device is scheduled to issue a second command to direct the memory device to perform a refresh operation; and
transmit the host-device refresh-timing information to the memory device in association with the second command.
