US Patent 9761297 Hidden refresh control in dynamic random access memory

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide a way to reduce and or eliminate contention between refresh operations and read/write operations, and a larger page buffer for read/write operations for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) technology. More particularly, systems, apparatuses and methods may provide a way to improve a DRAM to perform read/write operations with section selection. Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for including additional transfer gates in a DRAM to provide section selection to reduce and or eliminate contention between refresh operations and read/write operations, and a larger page buffer for read/write operations.
