Abstract:
Systems and method for a host-driven data refresh of a Flash memory include registers provided in the Flash memory for storing various settings related to refresh operations, such as, when to start/stop refreshing, target partitions in the memory, target start/end address ranges for refreshing, refresh algorithms, refresh rate requirements, etc. A host can control the various settings for start/stop refreshing, target partitions in the memory, target start/end address ranges for refreshing, refresh algorithms, through the corresponding registers; and the Flash memory can control various values related to refresh rate requirements through corresponding registers. In this manner, a standard platform or interface is provided within the Flash memory for refresh operations thereof.

Claim (Index 34):
An apparatus comprising:\n a host device coupled to a flash memory and comprising means for controlling read or write operations of the flash memory, the flash memory comprising one or more refresh registers, wherein refresh operations performed on the flash memory are based on values in the one or more refresh registers, the one or more refresh registers comprising at least one of: a first register, a second register, a fourth register, or a fifth register; wherein the host device comprises:\n means for setting the first register to start the refresh operations of the flash memory and means for clearing the first register to stop the refresh operations; \n means for programming the second register to indicate at least one partition of one or more target memory partitions of the flash memory for the refresh operations; \n means for programming the fourth register to indicate a refresh algorithm for performing the refresh operations; or \n means for reading the fifth register indicating a refresh rate of the flash memory.
