CHAPTER 7
REFRESH CONTROL UNIT
The Refre
s
h Control Unit (RCU) simplifies dynamic memory controller design with its integrat-
ed address and clock counters. Figure 7-1 shows the relationship between the Bus Interface Unit
and the Refresh Control Unit. Integrating the Refresh Control Unit into the processor allows an
external DRAM controller to use chip-selects, wait state logic and status lines.
