DRAM Array Reset Mode Internal Initialization

The memory device performs initialization operations autonomously using internal state machines and control logic, eliminating the need for external controller intervention. The device self-configures operating parameters and initializes internal components without requiring data transfer over the memory bus, thereby reducing initialization latency while maintaining reliable initialization completion.

The initialization function is extracted from the external controller and relocated to the memory device itself. By implementing dedicated initialization circuitry and state machines within the memory device, the patent separates the initialization operation from the main memory interface, allowing it to occur independently without consuming memory bus bandwidth or increasing latency.

The memory device autonomously performs initialization operations using internally generated control signals and state machines, eliminating the need for continuous communication with the external controller. This self-service approach reduces power consumption by avoiding sustained activation of the memory interface and controller logic during the initialization phase.

The patent implements a simplified initialization sequence that activates only the necessary internal circuits and state machines required for basic operation. By performing only the essential initialization functions internally without requiring full controller involvement, the system achieves reliable initialization completion with reduced power consumption compared to traditional external controller-based initialization.

The memory device independently configures its internal state machines and operating parameters using internal control logic, eliminating the need for data transfer between the external controller and memory device during initialization. This self-service mechanism completes initialization without consuming memory bus bandwidth, as all configuration data is generated and processed internally within the memory device.

The initialization configuration data and control signals are extracted from the external controller domain and generated internally within the memory device. By implementing dedicated initialization state machines that produce all necessary control sequences locally, the patent eliminates data transfer requirements over the memory interface while ensuring reliable initialization completion.
