US Patent 11783910 Controller to detect malfunctioning address of memory device

A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) comprises a plurality of primary data storage elements, a plurality of redundant data storage elements, and circuitry to receive a first register setting command and initiate a repair mode in the DRAM in response to the first register setting command. The circuitry is further to receive an activation command, repair a malfunctioning row address in the DRAM, receive a precharge command, receive a second register setting command, terminate the repair mode in the DRAM in response to the second register setting command, receive a memory access request for data stored at the malfunctioning row address, and redirect the memory access request to a corresponding row address in the plurality of redundant data storage elements.
