When open pages are enabled, a bank row is kept open until one of the following events occurs:
•
An access occurs to the same bank but to a different row address. In this case, the DRAM controller pre-
charges, to close the page, and opens a new one (the new row address).
•
The access is smaller than the DRAM burst length. The DRAM controller needs to terminate the burst in the
middle using early precharge. (See
.)
•
The refresh counter expires. The DRAM controller closes all of the open pages and performs a refresh to all
banks.
